Cassatt: Mothers and Children

by Judith A. Barter, Sue Roe

Overview

This monograph of American artist Mary Cassatt’s work celebrates fifty stunning portraits of mothers with their children in everyday life.

Mary Cassatt’s tender and profound paintings redefined portraiture and broke down barriers for women in art—both as artists and as subjects. This collection focuses on Cassatt’s insightful portrayal of women and children living their everyday lives. Fifty magnificent images cover the scope of Cassatt’s work, from her early interest in Japanese woodblocks all the way to her exploration of Modernist techniques. Two essays contextualize her as a pioneering female artist and as the American face of Impressionist painting.

• Captures the love between mothers and children

• A luminous, robust, and timely celebration of an artist with a unique legacy

Fans of The Private Lives of the Impressionists, In Montmartre, and Mary Cassatt: An American Impressionist in Paris will love this book.</
