Overview Start Tour next back to prints and drawings Overview Known for her perceptive depictions of women and children, Mary Cassatt was one of the few American artists active in the nineteenth-century French avant-garde. Born to a prominent Pittsburgh family, she traveled extensively through Europe with her parents and siblings while a child. Between 1860 and 1864 she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. At the age of twenty-two Cassatt went abroad, studying old master paintings in European museums. In Paris, she studied with prominent academic painters and independently at the Louvre. Returning to the United States for a short period, Cassatt went back to Europe in 1871, spending her time painting and copying the old masters in museums in Italy, Spain, and Belgium.

M ary Cassatt (1844-1926) was a unique artist because she was a woman who succeeded in what was in the nineteenth century a predominantly male profession, because she was the only American invited to exhibit with a group of independent artists later known as the Impressionists, and because she responded in a very distinctive way to their mandate to portray modern life. In regard to Degas's invitation to exhibit with the Impressionists, she told her biographer, Achille Ségard: I accepted with joy. At last, I could work with absolute independence without considering the opinion of a jury. I had already recognized who were my true masters. I admired Manet, Courbet, and Degas.

Art Institute of Chicago Chicago, Illinois www.artic.edu Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman T he Art Institute of Chicago is proud to present Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman , the first retrospective in 30 years of the work of one of the greatest artists this country has produced. On view in the Art Institute's Regenstein Hall, the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Building, October 13, 1998, through January 10, 1999, the exhibition brings together approximately 100 of the Cassatt's most beautiful and compelling paintings, pastels, drawings, and prints, from public and private collections worldwide. Mary Cassatt has been organized by the Art Institute in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (to be shown there February 14-May 9, 1999), and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., where it will be seen June 6 -September 6, 1999. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) is an artist of surprisesmostly small, but often subtle and profound. Known to this day as a "painter of mothers and children," a sobriquet given in her lifetime, she approached this, her favorite subject, with the surprisingly unsentimental but sympathetic clarity she used to address all her subjects. Born into a well-to-do, fairly conventional American family, Cassatt became a genteel rebel, traveling and living alone, partaking of the bohemian life in Paris while developing a magnificent painter's eye and businesswoman's head. She was the only American (and one of only three women) to exhibit with the Impressionists in Parisbecoming close friends with some of thembut moved very much in her own direction after that group splintered, coming to draw on such disparate inspirations as Symbolism and Japanese prints.

The many paintings, pastels, and prints in which Cassatt depicted children being bathed, dressed, read to, held, or nursed reflect the most advanced 19th-century ideas about raising children. After 1870, French scientists and physicians encouraged mothers (instead of wet-nurses and nannies) to care for their children and suggested modern approaches to health and personal hygiene, including regular bathing. In the face of several cholera epidemics in the mid-1880s, bathing was encouraged not only as a remedy for body odors but as a preventative measure against disease. back to top Reproduction Permission Last updated: August 2004 Questions?

Cassatt, Mary (b. May 22, 1844, Allegheny City, Pa., U.S.d. June 14, 1926, Château de Beaufresne, near Paris, Fr.), American painter and printmaker who exhibited with the Impressionists. Encyclopaedia Britannica (1844-1926) The daughter of an affluent Pittsburgh businessman, whose French ancestry had endowed him with a passion for that country, she studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and then travelled extensively in Europe, finally settling in Paris in 1874. In that year she had a work accepted at the Salon and in 1877 made the acquaintance of Degas , with whom she was to be on close terms throughout his life. His art and ideas had a considerable influence on her own work; he introduced her to the Impressionists and she participated in the exhibitions of 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1886, refusing to do so in 1882 when Degas did not. She was a great practical support to the movement as a whole, both by providing direct financial help and by promoting the works of Impressionists in the USA, largely through her brother Alexander. By persuading him to buy works by Manet Monet Morisot Renoir , Degas and Pissarro , she made him the first important collector of such works in America. She also advised and encouraged her friends the Havemeyers to build up their important collection of works by Impressionists and other contemporary French artists.

Home Virtual Museum Individual Artists : Mary Cassatt Mary Cassatt: 1844 - 1926 The most famous female Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt, was born on 22 May, 1844 in Allegheny, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Cassatt family was affluent and cultured: Mary's father was a stockbroker, while her mother, who came from an old established Pennsylvania family, was an accomplished woman who spoke French and read widely, and provided Mary with an excellent example to follow. It is, perhaps, no accident that so many of the women in Mary Cassatt's paintings are engaged in simple, self-contained tasks like reading or sewing, since these were the everyday activities of the Cassatt household. As a child, Mary traveled widely in Europe, since the family moved from Paris to Heidelberg and Darmstadt in search of a specialist who could help cure her brother Robbie's diseased knee joint, and to find the superior schooling that her brother Alexander needed for his future engineering career. This travel enabled Mary to learn both French and German while she was still young - linguistic skills that were prove immensely useful in later life. On her return to Europe in 1872, Mary Cassatt went to Parma in Italy where she stayed for several months studying the paintings of the Italian Masters Correggio and Parmagianino, and where she may have also studied graphic art with Carlo Raimondi. It says a great deal about the determination of the young artist that she was prepared to brave a somewhat lonely and isolated existence in order to achieve her aim. It is also significant that she should have felt a need to turn to these two particular painters, as they were both masters of the Madonna-and-child theme, and subject paintings of women and children were to prove so critical to her own work. From Parma, the artist went to Madrid, where she spent some time absorbing the lessons of Velazquez in the Prado, and where she painted the Spanish-influenced

MARY STEVENSON CASSATT 1845-1926 Agatha and Her Child, 1891 Pastel on paper, 26 x 2 1 " (66.04 x 53.34 cm.) Signed, lower left Museum purchase, 947-W-102 Mary Cassatt, the only American to exhibit with the Impressionists, owes her reputation to the honesty, sympathy, and directness with which she represented subjects from contemporary domestic life. Between 1875 when she saw some pastels by Edgar Degas in a Paris art dealer's window, and 1879 when she began to exhibit with the Impressionists, she developed a distinctive style that combined a light, bright palette with the strong contours and confident volumes of Degas. She applied this style to subjects that demonstrated her commitment to the "new realism" espoused by the Impressionist group. Cassatt frequently chose as models her family and friends, whom she depicted at their frankly bourgeois pastimes. Although intended to be anonymous to her audience, her sitters possess startling specificity in their appearance and actions. Because they neither pose for nor acknowledge the viewer, they convey on paper or canvas something authentic and immediate. Mothers with children are perhaps the subject most often linked with Cassatt. Although she rendered the theme throughout her career, her most intensive involvement with it took place between 1888 and 1894, when she made more than twenty mother-and child pictures in both oils and pastel, as if heeding Degas's advice to his sculptor-friend, Albert Bartholomu: "It is essential to do the same subject over and over again, ten times, a hundred times." Six of these pictures date from 1890-1891

Born in 1845 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, she first travelled to Europe to study painting at the age of 21. Edgar Degas, who considered that she had 'infinite talent', invited her to exhibit with the Impressionists in 1877. Two years later, Cassatt joined Degas and her fellow Impressionist Camille Pissarro in contributing to a journal of original prints. This marked the beginning of Cassatt's desire to make prints alongside her paintings. In 1890 a large display of Japanese art profoundly affected her, and she produced ten colour prints, described by Pissarro as 'rare and exquisite works'. This exhibition included prints from all stages of Cassatt's career, all from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, amongst them one of the finest extant editions of the colour prints, given as part of the Drummond Bequest.
