Summary

This volume, illustrated with 32 full color plates, displays the power and mastery of America's foremost woman painter. The text and accompanying chronology traces Mary Cassatt's career from her academic art studies in Philadelphia, through her discovery of the works of Manet, Degas, and other impressionists, to her highly successful one-woman shows at Gallerie Durand-Ruel, the impressionist's loyal art dealer. The artist's personality is also illuminated throughout by excerpts from correspondence between Mary Cassatt and her closest friend, Mrs. H.O. Havenmeyer
