Beginning with the women artists in the era of Impressionism, we will cover some of the women who are just now claiming their place in art history from the beginning of the 20th century. Many of the mid-century women are becoming better known, but would you recognize their work? The later part of the century sees the passing of a generation of artists whose work is better known and who often lived to see their work acknowledged in their lifetime.
