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.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: 18. BERTHE MORISOT

Name: Berthe Morisot

Born: January 14, 1841, Bourges, Cher, France

Died: March 2, 1895, Paris, France

Nationality: French

Art Movement: Impressionism

Field: Painting

Friends/Co-workers: Edouard Manet, Camille Corot

Family/Relatives: Eugène Manet, Edouard Manet, Jean-Honore Fragonard

Berthe Morisot was a painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. She was described by Gustave Geffroy in 1894 as one of "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt. In 1864, Morisot exhibited for the first time in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris. Sponsored by the government and judged by Academicians, the Salon was the official, annual exhibition of the Académie des beaux-arts in Paris. Her work was selected for exhibition in six subsequent Salons until, in 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions, which included Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley. Morisot was married to Eugène Manet, the brother of her friend and colleague Édouard Manet.
