Frederic Edwin Church, Manet & Morisot

Episode No. 756 features author Victoria Johnson and curator Emily A. Beeny. Johnson is the author of "Glorious Country: How the Artist Frederic Church Brought the World to America and America to the World," the first major biography of the most important and influential painter in the US nineteenth century. The book will be published by Scribner next week. Johnson's book tells the story of Church's life, and especially his travels even as she explains how Church's work engaged with the scientific and political worlds of his time. It is likely to be the authoritative source on Church's life for decades to come. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $35. Beeny is the curator of "Manet & Morisot," an exploration of the artistic exchange between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot, now at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The show particularly focuses on the 15 years between 1868 and 1883, when Manet and Morisot shared perhaps the closest relationship of any two impressionists. It's on view in Cleveland through July 5. A fine catalogue was published by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in association with Yale University Press. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $57-70.
