Unpublished materials and new technical analyses revitalize the legacy of the only American Impressionist--a truly independent spirit

Published with Musée d'Orsay/Éditions Hazan/National Portrait Gallery, London.

I can live alone and love to work, painter and printmaker Mary Cassatt said of herself. This publication, and the exhibition it accompanies, sketch a new portrait of the beloved artist, emphasizing the notion of independence that underpinned both her life and her art. Cassatt forged a path of her own. Not only was she the only American to exhibit with the Independents (as the Impressionists were then called), but she was also a savvy player in the art market, a landowner, an innovative printmaker, a painter of large public murals and a strong supporter of women's suffrage. These characteristics are fully evident in Cassatt's work, which boldly proclaims that the everyday lives of women--on the street, at the theater, in the home, in nature--are suitable subjects for modern art.
