Morisot: An Unexpected Great There were many artists involved in the impressionism movement. Some of the prominent ones included were Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet. Moreover, many of the more recognized artists of the movement were male, while the female artists weren’t given as much attention as they deserved.

Though there was an increase in female artists, their style was often ridiculed and their works mainly ignored.
