Motherhood has been a subject in art for centuries, not least through Christian imagery of the Virgin Mary. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, as more and more women became artists, new ways of depicting the bond between mother and child emerged.
In this talk, Philippe takes you through these fresh images of motherhood in the works of Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Anna Ancher, Suzanne Valadon, Tamara de Lempicka and many others. He also looks at how their male colleagues handled the same theme. The talk is given in easy-to-follow French.
