Euphoria



Impressionist Way Back?
By: Kayla



There were may influential impressionists during the late 1800s to early 1900s, but none like this woman.  Who? Are you asking?  Well Mary Cassatt of course! She was born May 22, 1844 in Pennsylvania.  She is a distant cousin of Robert Henri.  She spent 5 years of her life in Europe.  Visiting many artists from such cities like London, Paris, and Berlin.  She is best know as a American painter and printmaker.  With this, Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular focus on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.  Her art is quite stunning, if you look below.
