Nevertheless, she succeeded in forging a career, gaining respect, becoming a key player, and creating a body of work that has stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer impressionism vibrates with light and spontaneity, yet possesses a density of form through the deft use of colour. Inevitably she painted what she experienced: scenes of intimate domestic and family life, gardens, flowers, and landscapes—representing the real, unfiltered day-to-day life of 19th-century women. From the tender depiction of maternal love in \u003cem\u003eThe Cradle\u003c\/em\u003e to the Far-Eastern inspired \u003cem\u003eJulie with her Greyhound Laërte\u003c\/em\u003e, her work captures the essence of her era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gorgeous book introduces the reader to the background, life, and work of the artist, followed by a curated selection of her best work in exquisite full-page reproductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAUTHOR: Ann Kay\u003c\/em\u003e has edited or written a wide range of material on art and culture—from books, magazines, and journals to exhibition catalogues and websites, for all ages—including work on two titles about the French Impressionist circle.
