Mary Cassatt |
 |
| Born: 1844 - Died: 1926. |
| Miss Cassatt was born in Pittsburgh, and is the daughter and sister of well known Pennsylvania Railroad magnates. The possessor of an independent fortune, and therefore free from those financial worries, she found no obstacles inhibiting her from her chosen path of her life-work, when she decided to travel and study abroad rather than to live in America. Mary Cassatt is famous for her portrayal of motherhood, and childhood, and for this work and style she stands alone. Her work gained recognition in France first, but Mary Cassatt also lived in Holland, Spain and Italy. It was in Italy, however, that she received her most profound art impressions, which influenced her art throughout her career.
This is noticeable in her choice of subjects, their arrangement and in her sentiment. Cassatt had lived in France for many years and had ceased painting in 1914 due to failing eye-sight. Her death was hardly acknowledged in the American press at the time.
Mary Cassatt is One of the few women Impressionists, she had a life of paradoxes: American born, she lived and worked in France; a classically trained artist, she preferred the company of radicals; never married, she painted exquisite and beloved portraits of mothers and children.
