| Berthe Morisot |
This was the first group
of important women artists with a new voice and they exhibited thier work at the Impressionist shows in Paris.
This was part of a new and rebellious attitude to have women in the
shows apparently!
I was
surprised to learn of this group as I had never heard of any women
impressionist painters.
Berthe
Moriot was often painted by Manet and other male painters and as she was very
striking and beautiful perhaps they were unable to take her work as a painter
serious enough?

Morisot’s
painting was brave and new art with lightning blot brush strokes and
instinctive insightful painting. She was known for beautiful crisp white
painting
The joui de
vivre of impressionism.

an emotional blankness in her paintings.

Marie Brackamot
She made
beautiful Impressionist pots.
In 1864, she exhibited for the first time in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris. Sponsored by the government, and judged by academicians, the Salon was the official, annual exhibition of the Académie des beaux-arts in Paris. Her work was selected for exhibition in six subsequent Salons until, in 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions, which included Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. It was held at the studio of the photographer Nadar. She became the sister-in-law of her friend and colleague, Édouard Manet, when she married his brother, Eugène.
