BERTHE MORISOT AS A SYMBOLIST
The exhibition of Berthe Morisot's work organised by the Arts Council prompted, of course, the usual observations on art and femininity. Eric Newton, speaking for many as usual, wrote in 'The Listener': 'though one could easily deduce her sex without looking at the signature on her pictures, that does not make her a less competent painter though it does make her a less whole-hearted impressionist'. In fact, the non-impressionist undercurrent derives, not from her sex but from her relationship with the contemporary Symbolist movement. She was influenced by the symbolist Gaugin in the early 1890's ('Peasant Girl Lying down', for example) but a more intimate link is with Mallarm'e who christened one of Berthe Morisot's garden conversations 'Le Fable', a title which accents the allusive quality of her art.
'Boats Under Construction' (exhibited at the second Impressionist exhibition) is a painterly notation of thing seen. The portrait of her husband 'Eugene Manet looking out at the Sea from a Window, Isle of Wight' (1875) is also a pure impressionist work. If we compare the tender but sculpturesque 'Young Woman in a Ball Dress' (1879-80) with 'Young Man on a Sofa' (1879) symbolist characteristics in the latter become clear: the empty spaces round the single figure are anxiously evocative and the flowers and fan are favourite images of Mallarm'e. The superb 'Child with her Doll' (1884) reveals strong symbolist attachments with its floating forms disintegrating in a tangible avalanche of light. Colour and light are freed from objective functions in Berthe Morisot's world of 1881-84. This trans-
