These paintings and prints by the American artist are among the
finest examples of Impressionism. Mary Cassatt''s paintings and
prints have long been treasured as some of the finest examples of
Impressionist art. A rebel by the Victorian standards of her time,
Mary Cassatt moved from the art schools of staid Philadelphia to
the boulevards of Paris, where the young Impressionist movement was
flourishing. Degas, her friend and mentor, encouraged her
involvement in the new art movement. Cassatt''s luminous, observant,
and innovative works-chiefly interiors with women and
children-helped define Impressionism and have been compared to
Raphael''s paintings for their beauty and dignity. Frank Getlein,
noted art critic and historian, has selected 72 of Cassatt''s finest
works, each reproduced here in full color. His accompanying text
relates the intimate details of her life to her paintings while
clearly defining her relation to fellow artists and her place in
modern art. The publication of this book marks the first time that
so many of Cassatt''s paintings and prints, some rarely seen by
American audiences, have been made available at a popular price.
