'Forgotten' women Impressionists rediscovered at Irish exhibition

Women Impressionists were often ignored by critics unable to see past their "feminine" subject matter or dismissed as "secondary" figures. The exhibition showcases the work of four of these 19th century artists -- Berthe Morisot, Eva Gonzales, Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt. "It is one of the first exhibitions anywhere to focus on the four women who are key to the Impressionist movement," the director of Dublin's National Gallery of Ireland, Caroline Campbell, told AFP ahead of the show's opening on Thursday.
