Discover the vibrant world of Mary Cassatt, the trailblazing Impressionist painter, through this captivating picture book. From a tender age, Mary Cassatt knew her destiny lay in the world of art. Against all odds, she convinced her parents to send her to the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at just fifteen years old. By twenty, she embarked on an extraordinary journey abroad to forge her painting career. Immerse yourself in the late 1800s as you explore Mary's artistic endeavors and witness her becoming the first and only American female member of the Impressionist movement.

This beautifully illustrated book showcases not only Mary Cassatt's own remarkable artwork but also the masterpieces of influential Impressionist artists. Feast your eyes on her beloved portraits of mothers and children, capturing tender moments that emanate warmth and love. Be enchanted by the lesser-known pieces that demonstrate Mary's immense talent and versatility, portraying children of all ages cherishing the company of pets, reveling in the great outdoors, and cradled in the embrace of caring adults.

Mary Cassatt's unwavering spirit, determination, and commitment to her craft serve as a guiding light, encouraging readers to pursue their creative aspirations.

About the Artist

Mary Cassatt

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (1844 – 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh's North Side), and lived much of her adult life in France, where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

She was described by Gustave Geffroy as one of "les trois grandes dames" (the three great ladies) of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot.
