Monet und Camille: Frauenportraits in Impressionism is the official catalogue for the exhibition held at Kunsthalle Bremen from 15 October 2005 to 26 February 2006, focusing on female portraits in Impressionist art, particularly the role of Camille Doncieux, Claude Monet?s model and later wife. The publication brings together works by Monet alongside portraits of women by his contemporaries such as Renoir, Manet, Whistler and Degas, offering a wide perspective on changing female representation in late 19th century painting. Essays by art historians place the works in a historical and cultural context, exploring how modernity, urban life and new artistic perspectives shaped the depiction of women and how Impressionist painters responded to these themes. The book presents a comprehensive examination of female portraiture in Impressionism, anchored in the Bremer exhibition. It includes Monet?s portrait of Camille Doncieux - one of his earliest successes - and situates it among comparable portraits by other major Impressionists. Through large color plates, drawings, period photographs and detailed essays, the catalogue traces the evolution of how women were depicted - from commissioned formal portraits to more modern expressive approaches reflecting light, color and contemporary life. The publication not only highlights Monet?s handling of these subjects but also examines broader changes in painterly technique and social roles, demonstrating how portraiture evolved with artistic innovation in the late 19th century.
