Was Berthe Morisot's work considered radical?
Some perceived my work as unconventional, perhaps due to its intimate subject matter and my departure from academic conventions. However, my aim was not radicalism for its own sake, but to portray life as I saw it and felt it. Impressionism itself represented a shift, a desire to capture the present moment, and I embraced that, seeking truth in my personal vision. The intimate scale and focus on domesticity were simply my chosen avenues for exploration.
