My Take
What strikes me about Eva Gonzalès is how easily she gets overshadowed. She's grouped with Cassatt, Morisot, and Bracquemond as one of the four great women of Impressionism, yet she's the one I see mentioned least. As Manet's only formal pupil, she had to fight to be seen as a painter rather than a muse. A Box at the Théâtre des Italiens is her calling card for me. Dying at just 33, days after childbirth, cut her story painfully short. I think she deserves more space than history usually gives her, and I find her work worth seeking out.
