This talk will present an overview of the exhibition, Impressionism and Its Overlooked Women, currently on view at Ordrupgaard through May 20, 2024. The exhibition brings to the fore five women artists whose roles have been given less attention in the popular narrative of Impressionism: Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond, as well as Marie Bashkirtseff. 

The exhibition showcases their work with the intention that this focus makes way for new narratives and perspectives on Impressionism – an ambition that is part of the larger conversation regarding the role and representation of women in the history of art. 

Dorthe Vangsgaard Nielsen is Senior Curator at Ordrupgaard, Charlottenlund, in Denmark, which holds one of Northern Europe’s most important collections of French Impressionism. She specializes in nineteenth-century French art and has edited catalogues and curated exhibitions on French Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and contemporary art, including: Impressionism and Its Overlooked Women (2024, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Ireland); Ai Weiwei: Water Lilies #1 (forthcoming 2024); Enigmatic Underworlds: Jean Gauguin and Klara Lilja (2023); Gauguin and His Friends (2022); and Monet: Beyond Impressionism (2016).
