About the Artist / Institution:
Mary Cassatt was a pioneering American painter and printmaker who lived much of her adult life in France, where she became the only American artist to officially exhibit with the Impressionists. She achieved international acclaim for her sensitive, unsentimental depictions of the social and private lives of women, particularly focusing on the deep bonds between mothers and children. The publisher, The Brooklyn Museum, founded in 1895, is the second-largest art museum in New York City and holds a premier collection of American Impressionism, setting a high standard for fine art printing and educational publications throughout the 20th century.
