Salon Morisot: Devotion—Jodie
Blackshaw. From a suite of three
miniatures inspired by the remarkable
artistry of little-known female French
impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841-
1895). Morisot was highly admired by her
fellow Impressionist colleagues, and her
works were exhibited in the very first (and
many consequential) Impressionist Salon
of 1874 (a salon being an exhibition). This
second movement from the suite is inspired
by Morisot's artwork called "The Cradle"
and is a perfect addition to a program
dedicated to mothers and caregivers.
