Having renounced an artistic career from a very young age, Berthe de Rayssac did nevertheless play a crucial role in the cultural life of her time. Favouring an aestheticism of everyday life because she was unable to express herself fully in her works, she succeeded in making her small Parisian salon a cradle of symbolism entirely dedicated to the arts.http://journals.openedition.org/cel/527
