Experience the first major exhibition dedicated to an artistic exchange at the heart of Impressionism: the friendship of Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot. From their first encounter and Manet’s determining impact early in Morisot’s career to his final years, when he increasingly emulated her subjects, colors, and even her free, open brushstrokes, this exhibition invites you on a journey through a friendship that shaped the course of modern art.
