Mary
Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker.
She was born in Allegheny City,
Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh's North Side), but in 1866, when she was
22, she moved to Paris to study art. Then, she lived most of her life in
France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas among the Impressionist
painters, and later exhibited with the Impressionist.
Cassatt frequently
painted images depicting women's social and private lives, especially with
emphasizing the intimate bonds between mothers and children.
In
1894, a French journalist and art critic Gustave Geffroy described her as one
of "The three great ladies of Impressionism” along with Marie Bracquemond
and Berthe Morisot.
