| | Mary Cassatt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shortly after her triumphs with the impressionists, Cassatt quit painting to care for her mother and sister, who fell ill after moving to Paris in 1877. | | | Her sister died in 1882, but her mother regained her health, and Cassatt resumed painting by the mid-1880s. | | | Her parents believed travel was a way to learn, and before she was 10 years old, she visited many of the capitals of Europe, including London, Paris, and Berlin. |

| | Cassatt doesn't seem to have found the solution to this dilemma, in her art or her life, but the issues she raises make her a major artist. | | | The real world, Cassatt seems to be telling us (in her art and her life) is a scary affair. | | | One of Cassatt's 1874 Salon paintings caught the eye of Degas; a few years later, after a Salon rejection, she joined the ranks of the Impressionists, making her debut with them in 1879. |

| | Cassatt also printed mirror images, or counterproofs, of these subtle portraits in pastel from 1905 to 1915, during her long career as a leading expatriate artist in Paris. | | | Mary Cassatt captured the essence of Gilded Age femininity in her beguiling portraits of mothers with infants and young girls with pets in genteel domestic settings. | | | Breaking away from the salon's strictures, Cassatt threw her lot in with the French impressionists, debuting her paintings at their 1878 independent exhibition. |

| | Cassatt submitted the painting to the American section of the 1878 Paris Exposition universelle: its rejection enraged her. | | | "...Cassatt had completely absorbed from her Impressionist colleagues Caillebotte, Degas, and Renoir, as well as her study of Japanese prints, the modern idea that the background of a painting might be as significant as the foreground. | | | Naturalism and sensuality of a pure, elemental, and nonsexual sort are the hallmarks of Cassatt's portrayals of childhood during the 1880s and 1890s. |

| | In 1861, when she was sixteen, Mary Cassatt decided to study art seriously and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, apparently against the wishes of her father, who thought it inadvisable that she should extend herself beyond the domestic role for which she was intended. | | | The early years in Paris were a particularly happy time for Mary Cassatt, and this gaiety is reflected in the subject matter she chose for her paintings. | | | It was not until 1898 that Mary Cassatt visited America for the first time since she had settled in Paris in 1874, in order to see her family and friends. |
