Mary Cassatt, Artist

ebook
Mary Cassatt, one of the defiant group of artists known as the Impressionists, is celebrated today as one of her era's finest painters. In a career that spanned half a century, she earned a reputation as a genteel revolutionary who challenged society's prejudices-both about art and about women. Cassatt increasingly portrayed women in her art-her favorite theme being mother-and-child. This book traces the life and career of this American painter, who was an important member of the Impressionist movement in the late 1800s.
