Happy Birthday, Berthe Morisot
Today is Berthe Morisot's birthday. She was born on January 14, 1841. One of the few women who consistently exhibited with the Impressionists, Morisot "lived her paintings and painted her life." She is one of my favorite artists; and Reading is one of my favorite paintings.
"For paradise in the world to come is uncertain, but there is indeed a heaven on earth, a heaven which we inhabit when we read a good book."
