Mary Cassatt Paintings and Prints - Vintage Book

Details: 

Mary Cassatt’s paintings and prints are widely regarded as some of the most exceptional works to come out of the Impressionist movement. Defying the expectations of her Victorian upbringing, Cassatt left the traditional art world of Philadelphia for the vibrant creative energy of Paris, where Impressionism was taking shape. It was there that Degas—both a friend and mentor—encouraged her to immerse herself in this bold new direction in art.

Cassatt’s work, known for its clarity, warmth, and remarkable sensitivity, often focused on intimate interior scenes featuring women and children. These pieces not only helped shape the Impressionist style but have also been praised for their grace and depth, even earning comparisons to the elegance of Raphael. Art critic and historian Frank Getlein selected 72 of her most significant works, presented here in full color, and his accompanying text weaves together the story of her life, her relationships with other artists, and the lasting impact she made on modern art.
