This week, we're spending our time in 18th and 19th century Paris with four great ladies and fundamental artists of Impressionism: Marie Bracquemond, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, and Eva Gonzalès. All four spent significant amounts of time in the Paris inner circles, with many (if not all) of them related to the most prominent figures in impressionism. They also all overcame family obstacles, gender discrimination, criticism of the movement they believed in, and much more to rise to the top of the impressionist art scene. Although very similar upbringings, these women all created unique and stunning works of art that are the pinnacles of the movement and significant to all of art history.
