Influence on American Collections
Mary Cassatt's place in the history of American art is unique, not only because she was one of the few woman artists of any nationality to succeed professionally in her time, but also because she was the only American artist to exhibit with the French Impressionists. - NGA - Mary Cassatt: Selected Paintings
- Mary Cassatt was born into an affluent family in Pennsylvania on May 22, 1844. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, one of the country's leading art schools. In addition to having regular exhibitions of European and American art, the faculty at the Academy encouraged students to study abroad. In 1865 Cassatt approached her parents with the idea of studying in Paris. Despite their initial objections, Cassatt's parents relented and allowed her to go

- Mary Cassatt: Painter of Mothers and Children
Mary Cassatt had always exhibited an interest in painting mothers and their children but, in 1880 Cassatt's brother, Alexander, arrived in Paris with his young family. The arrival renewed Cassatt's interest in depicting children, and her nephews and nieces now provided the opportunity for Cassatt to study and paint children from life. Taking advantage of her brother's family as models, she produced such works as the double portrait, Portrait of Mr. Alexander J. Cassatt and his son, Robert Kelso (1884). - WetCanvas: Virtual Museum: Individual Artists: Mary Cassatt: Painter of Mothers and Children
- Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas: Friends or Lovers? Not much is known about Mary Cassatt's relationship with Degas, as she burned all their correspondence before she died. However, it is generally assumed that the two were lovers, although nothing can be proved. What is certain is that the two painters had a close, if turbulent, relationship over a period of forty years that ended in Degas' death in 1917. Degas' difficult and cantankerous nature often lead to periods of estrangement that could only be ended when mutual friends brought the two together again.

Mary Cassatt and the Women Impressionists
book from Amazon
This is the catalogue of the Women Impressionists exhibition held in San Francisco in 2008
Women Impressionists: Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond
Amazon Price: $147.60 (as of 02/17/2012)
List Price: $60.00
All of these women practiced and supported Impressionism from its earliest days, when it was still a popular sport to deride it.
The female members of the nineteenth-century Impressionist movement are usually painted out of official art history, although Edouard Manet, for one, testified to the talents of his friends Berthe Morisot (whose "Harbor at Lorient" of 1869 he so admired that she gave it to him) and Eva Gonzales (the only pupil Manet ever took), and discussed matters of painting with them as readily as with male peers like Edgar Degas.
Even Degas himself, notoriously misogynistic, invited Mary Cassatt to exhibit with him (she was the only American to do so); and Marie Bracquemond also exhibited at the Impressionist exhibitions of 1879, 1880 and 1886, despite the discouragement of her husband.
Nonetheless, for Morisot, Gonzales, Bracquemond and Cassatt, the chances of equivalent long-term recognition were predictably slim, and while their own individual oeuvres were too strong and too omnipresent in their own time to be entirely eradicated from the annals of art, they have rarely received due attention in the hands of subsequent commentators.
This stunning 400-page compendium, published to accompany the important exhibition which travelled to San Francisco in the summer of 2008, corrects this longstanding oversight, presenting these pioneering painters alongside each other for the first time, reproducing their oil paintings, pastels, watercolors, drawings and etchings and offering a cogent rebuttal of familiar Impressionist narratives.
Available in paperback and hardcover, 320 pages
makaingamark says
I have just bought this book and it's a treasure. I particularly like the way it covers all aspects of their work and is not just limited to paintings. It expands my knowledge of painters I thought I already knew and has given me a whole new perspective on women impressionists generally. Production values are excellent.

- MFA Boston: Exhibition - Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman (1999)
- Cassatt's life was marked by her bold resolve to transcend conventional expectations for women and to succeed as an innovative professional artist. After her education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, she continued her studies in Europe and settled permanently in Paris in 1874....Cassatt embraced more radical art in the mid-1870s, when she discovered the works of the Impressionists, turned toward subjects drawn from modern life, and (as she later recalled) "began to live."
- NG London / Exhibitions: Mary Cassatt: Prints
- 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'. - Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman

Mary Cassatt was the only American painter to exhibit with the French Impressionists.
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.

- Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), the American Impressionist, was captivated by the challenges and artistic possibilities of making prints. These works were a central part of her discipline as a draughtsman, allowing her to focus on the essentials of form, gesture and expression

Paintings by Mary Cassatt
- Met. Museum - Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) The Cup of Tea, ca. 1880-81
- The Cup of Tea, ca. 1880-81
Oil on canvas; 36 3/8 x 25 3/4 in. (92.4 x 65.4 cm)
This picture represents Cassatt's sister, Lydia Simpson Cassatt (1837-1882), although, as the title suggests, it is less a specific portrait than a representation of a popular social ritual-one of the activities of contemporary life that became the mainstay of Cassatt's Impressionist imagery. Painted in the artist's early Impressionist manner, it is a fine example of her skill as a colorist. - Met Museum - Mary Cassatt Lilacs in a Window (Vase de Lilas a la Fenetre), ca. 1880-83
- Mary Cassatt (1844-1926)
Lilacs in a Window (Vase de Lilas a la Fenetre), ca. 1880-83
Oil on canvas; 24 3/16 x 20 1/8 in. (61.5 x 51.1 cm)
A dark aubergine vase containing purple and white lilacs is shown placed on what seems to be a sill or work surface in a greenhouse, with the adjacent window held open by a prop. This most simple of subjects is presented with an angular fluency and dash characteristic of Cassatt's best work, which is not surprising given her love of gardens and flowers. - Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926) The Child's Bath - the Art Institute of Chicagos Collection
- Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926)
The Child's Bath, 1893
Oil on canvas, 100.3 x 66.1 cm (39 1/2 x 26 in. )
In this work, Mary Cassatt addressed the theme of women and children, for which she is best known, while also experimenting with elements derived from Japanese art. In 1890, after viewing a large exhibition of Japanese prints at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, she produced a series of prints influenced by their aesthetics. The Child's Bath is a culmination of these sensibilities, which emphasize decorative pattern and a flattened picture plane. Moreover, the subject mirrors that of many Japanese prints, which capture intimate scenes of everyday life.

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. - In the Omnibus, 1890-91 | The Art Institute of Chicago

BOOK: Mary Cassatt: Prints and Drawings from the Collection of Ambroise Vollard
by Marc Rosen, Susan Pinsky, Nancy Mowll Mathews, Sarah Bertalan
During Cassatt's extended residence in France, Ambroise Vollard, the cutting-edge dealer in Paris best known for his appreciation and promotion of the works of Cezanne and Picasso, was stunned by the vitality and modern vision of her works on paper. In particular, Vollard was fascinated by the sequential development of the prints, which provided an extraordinary visual record of her creative process. Vollard later acquired Cassatt's entire collection of her prints and drawings, most of which had never been exhibited. These works remained in his holdings until his death in 1939, when they were acquired by the distinguished French dealer and collector, Henri M. Petiet. Part of this trove of works was finally brought to light in 2000 by Marc Rosen Fine Art, Ltd. in the ground-breaking exhibition "Mary Cassatt: Prints and Drawings from the Artist's Studio" held at Adelson Galleries.
The full depth of this astonishing cache of Cassatt's graphic works is revealed in the final exhibition of this series, "Cassatt from the Collection of Vollard: Prints and Drawings." The exhibition and this accompanying catalogue include nearly 100 etchings, aquatints, and a group of important early drawings, which reveal the range of the artist's creative process and add to our understanding of her innovative approach to art. Of particular interest are the works dealing with the artit's central themes addressing the place of women in society and her unsentimental representations of women with children.
In addition to the illustrations the catalogue includes a foreword by Warren Adelson, an introduction by Marc Rosen, and essays by Nancy Mowll Mathews and Sarah Bertalan.

BOOK: Art in a Mirror: The Counterproofs of Mary Cassatt
By Warren Adelson
This book reveals, for the first time, a large and previously unknown group of 50 pastel counterproofs of Mary Cassatt. These counterproofs, which are literally mirror images of her pastels, produced by taking an impression of that original on a second sheet of paper, were a novel enterprise.
They belong to a whole panoply of experiments that Cassatt and her fellow artists such as Degas, Renoir, and Cezanne undertook, often in collaboration with the important dealer and publisher, Ambroise Vollard, at the end of the nineteenth and in the first decades of the twentieth century.
This book, produced in conjunction with an exhibition and sale at Adelson Galleries in New York, includes plates of all fifty counterproofs in full colour as well as additional colour and black and white illustrations of related works and other material pertaining to Cassatt's career. Several essays explore this rarely studied medium and its place within a fruitful period of experimentation in pastel and colour printmaking among the artists of turn-of-the-century France.

Woman Reading in a Garden - Like her colleague Pierre Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt blurs the distinction between portraiture and genre painting in this intimate outdoor scene. Less an exploration of the sitter's character or state of mind, Woman Reading in a Garden is as its title states?a depiction of a person in her everyday surroundings, specifically a new type of woman as the modern era dawned. - Mary Cassatt: Mothers and Children
