The 15-year-long friendship between French impressionists Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot has never been put on full display until now.
Manet & Morisot, Legion of Honor’s newest exhibit, now open, showcases the close relationship between the two artists. Despite their historic friendship within the Impressionist movement, this is the first major exhibition dedicated to their connection.
This achievement was a long time coming for Emily Beeny, Curator in Charge of European Paintings, and Thomas Campbell, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
“As a former director, I know well from my experience that many creators have one treasured hope, an ideal exhibition in their hearts,” Campbell said. “It’s always, for me, one of the most satisfying and rewarding parts of my work when I can help bring to light such a passion project.”
