- Summary:
- Uncompromising and fearless, Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) traversed a breathtaking artistic path. After training in Philadelphia in the early 1860s, Cassatt traveled to Europe largely on her own to study with noted teachers and experience the continent's traditional and modern art firsthand. In 1877 she made the daring decision to join the French Impressionists--the only American to exhibit with them. It was in the years following the eighth and final Impressionist group show in 1886 that Cassatt produced some of her most celebrated compositions. In these prime years of her career--the late 1880s through the early 1900s--Cassatt pursued ambitious and experimental work, exploring the theme of mothers and caretakers with children, creating complex color prints, and undertaking an unprecedented mural commission for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Marking the centennial of her death, Mary Cassatt: After Impressionism examines her paintings, pastels, and prints of this pivotal period when she took her art making in new directions. -- publisher.
