Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism is the first major UK
exhibition of the renowned Impressionist since 1950. In partnership
with the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, it will bring together
around 30 of Morisot’s most important works from international
collections, many never seen before in the UK, to reveal the artist
as a trailblazer of the movement as well as uncovering a previously
untold connection between her work and 18th century culture, with
around 20 works for comparison. A founding member of the
Impressionist group, Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was known for her
swiftly painted glimpses of contemporary life and intimate domestic
scenes. She featured prominently in the Impressionist exhibitions
and defied social norms to become one of the movement’s most
influential figures. Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism will
draw on new research and previously unpublished archival material
from the Musée Marmottan Monet to trace the roots of her
inspiration, revealing the ways in which Morisot engaged with 18th
century art and culture, while also highlighting the originality of
her artistic vision, which ultimately set her apart from her
predecessors. Highlights will include Eugène Manet on the Isle of
Wight (1875), painted while Morisot was on honeymoon in England,
and her striking Self-Portrait (1885), which will appear alongside
Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s Young Woman (c.1769) from Dulwich
Picture Gallery’s collection. Apollo revealing his divinity to
the shepherdess Issé, after François Boucher (1892), In the Apple
Tree (1890) and Julie Manet with her Greyhound Laerte (1893), are
among nine paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet, many
receiving their first ever showing in the UK.
In the first book-length study of Annie Baker, one of the most
critically acclaimed playwrights in the United States today and
winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a
MacArthur “genius” grant, Amy Muse analyzes Baker’s plays and
other work. These include The Flick, John, The Antipodes, the
Shirley Vermont plays, and her adaptation of Uncle Vanya. Muse
illuminates their intellectual and ethical themes and issues by
contextualizing them with the other works of theatre, art,
theology, and psychology that Baker read while writing them.
Through close discussions of Baker’s work, this book immerses
readers in her use of everyday language, her themes of loneliness,
desire, empathy, and storytelling, and her innovations with stage
time. Enriched by a foreword from Baker’s former professor,
playwright Mac Wellman, as well as essays by four scholars, Thomas
Butler, Jeanmarie Higgins, Katherine Weiss, and Harrison Schmidt,
this is a companionable guide for students of American literature
and theatre studies, which deepens their knowledge and appreciation
of Baker’s dramatic invention. Muse argues that Baker is finely
attuned to the language of the everyday: imperfect, halting, marked
with unexpressed desires, banalities, and silence. Called
“antitheatrical,” these plays draw us back to the essence of
theatre: space, time, and story, sitting with others in real time,
witnessing the dramatic in the ordinary lives of ordinary people.
Baker’s revolution for the stage has been to slow it down and
bring us all into the mystery and pleasure of attention.
