Mary Cassatt
Biography
Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) was an American painter who settled in Paris, exhibited with the Impressionists, and became a key conduit for introducing their art to U.S. collectors. After 1890 she adopted japoniste flatness, bold patterning, and strong design, focusing on modern women’s lives—especially mother‑and‑child subjects—until failing eyesight curtailed her work by 1914 [4].
