‘Modern Woman: Daughters and Lovers 1850 — 1930 | Drawings from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris’, an exhibition of drawings from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, by renowned French artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, will be showing exclusively at QAG.

It celebrates the changing roles of women during the Belle Époque as depicted by leading artists of the time such as Edgar Degas , Pierre-Auguste Renoir , Edouard Vuillard , Edouard Manet , Camille Pissarro , Pierre Bonnard , Auguste Rodin , Berthe Morisot and Jean François Millet. These artists increasingly abandoned idealised representations of the female figure, and turned to women from a diverse range of socioeconomic backgrounds, depicting them in their family lives and domestic activities, as well as in the public realm as spectators, performers and workers. Through these fascinating drawings, we see French society undergoing radical transformation.
