More information on these incredible and underappreciated artists ????

Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot were two of the most important figures in the Impressionist movement. While many people know names like Monet and Degas, Cassatt and Morisot were just as involved in shaping this new way of painting. They were not the only female Impressionists, but they were the most prominent and had a lasting impact on the movement.

At a time when women faced many barriers in the art world, both Cassatt and Morisot worked hard to be taken seriously. Morisot was the first woman to exhibit with the Impressionists, and her paintings often showed everyday life with soft colors and delicate brushwork. Cassatt, originally from America, became known for her tender and honest portraits, especially of women and children.

Despite their talent and success during their lifetimes, their names are often left out of conversations about Impressionism. They were not simply followers of the movement—they were leaders. Cassatt and Morisot helped define what Impressionism would become, and their work continues to inspire artists today. Their stories remind us that the history of art includes many voices, not just the most famous male ones.

Thanks for learning about these incredible women with me ❤️
