Manet & Morisot is the first ever major exhibition dedicated to the artistic exchange between Édouard Manet, often referred to as the father of modern painting, and Berthe Morisot, the only woman among the founding members of the Impressionist movement. Through comparisons of related works made between the late 1860s and the late 1880s, this exhibition traces the evolution of a singular friendship between two groundbreaking artists.

“Manet & Morisot” Tours

Martin Puryear’s (American, born 1941) singular work across mediums illuminates the expressive potential for abstraction in our time. Martin Puryear: Nexus highlights the global histories that have inspired Puryear’s practice, offering a fresh and timely perspective on his impactful body of work. While accentuating the art’s visual allure, this exhibition and its accompanying catalogue shed light on the ways that the artist’s unique visual vocabulary has been shaped by his enduring interests in global traditions of material culture, African American history, and the natural world.

Two special exhibitions, Manet &amp; Morisot and Martin Puryear: Nexus, come to the Cleveland Museum of Art this spring.

Berthe Morisot

A horizontally oriented oil painting in loose brushstrokes depicts Edma Morisot, a woman with light skin tone in a white dress seated reading a blue book on a pink blanket over grass. The dress, blanket, and grass are all patterned with flecks of paint. The woman's facial features are only hazily suggested under a hat with a green veil hanging down. An open fan lies in the grass to her right and there is light brown grass in the background.
