Books
Julie Manet, the niece of Eugène Manet and the most famous female Impressionist artist, Berthe Morisot, was born in Paris in 1878 into a wealthy and cultured milieu at the height of the Impressionist era. Many young girls still confide their inner thoughts to diaries and it is hardly surprising that, with her mother giving all her encouragement, Julie would prove to be no exception to the rule. Newly translated here by an expert of Impressionism, Manet's diary reveals a vivid depiction of a vital period in France's cultural history, as seen through the youthful and precocious eyes of the youngest member of what was surely the most prominent artistic family of that era.
