Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was an American painter and printmaker known for her Impressionist works featuring mothers and children. Born in Pennsylvania, Cassatt studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before moving to Paris to continue her artistic education. She was one of the few female members of the Impressionist movement and is known for her intimate portrayals of domestic life, particularly her depictions of mothers and children. Some of her most famous works include "The Lodge" and "Water Reflexion," both of which showcase her skill in capturing the subtle emotions and relationships of her subjects. Throughout her career, Cassatt exhibited her work in numerous solo and group shows, and her work can be found in major art museums around the world. She was a pioneer in the use of pastels as a medium for her paintings, and her contributions to the Impressionist movement have made her an important figure in the history of modern art.
