Growing Up with the Impressionists by Julie Manet

Growing Up with the Impressionists by Julie Manet

Julie Manet, the niece of Édouard Manet and the daughter of the most famous female Impressionist artist, Berthe Morisot, was born in Paris on 14 November 1878 into a wealthy and cultured milieu at the height of the Impressionist era. Many young girls still confide their inner thoughts to diaries and it is hardly surprising that, with her mother giving all her encouragement, Julie would prove to be no exception to the rule. At the age of ten, Julie began writing her `memoirs’ but it wasn’t until August 1893, at fourteen, that Julie began her diary in earnest: no neat leather-bound volume with lock and key but just untidy notes scribbled in old exercise books, often in pencil, the presentation as spontaneous as its contents. Her extraordinary diary – newly translated here by an expert on Impressionism – reveals a vivid depiction of a vital period in France’s cultural history seen through the youthful and precocious eyes of the youngest member of what was surely the most prominent artistic family of the time.

"An enchanting book.. a delightful story with aptly chosen illustrations" Book of the Year, Financial Times, `Francophiles will dote on the lively diary of Julie Manet which provides valuable insights into the lives of Degas, Renoir and others in that charmed circle.' - Richard Edmonds, Birmingham Post, `Often the most trivial details in Julie's diary are the most revealing.' - Richard Dorment, Daily Telegraph
