“I stayed there all summer long studying Rubens,” the artist related, “It was from Rome that I returned to Paris in 1874 in order to settle there permanently”. In April 1874, at 35 boulevard des Capucines, the first exhibition of the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers, etc. took place. At that exhibition, Louis Le Roy, a critic from Le Charivari magazine, gave the new artists the name “Impressionists”. At the time, however, Mary did not yet pay enough attention to them. Despite her somewhat ironic attitude towards art teachers, Mary followed the path of other artists, and started to look for tutors – after all, future Impressionists spent time at the studio of Professor Charles Glaire! But how to choose a teacher? Perhaps her choice in this matter was not original either.
