Event Details
Mary Cassatt worked as an artist and businesswoman in an age when most women of her station were restricted to the home. Despite this, she was able to work within her social structure to achieve success by painting private domestic subjects and subjects derived from the everyday life of modern women. She recognized a market opportunity for images of motherhood and depicted ordinary mothers and kids in striking compositions. Art historian Jeff Mishur will be discussing a selection of works and themes that Cassatt pursued during her career. R
Jeff will be presenting from Zoom, please join us in the library or on Zoom.
