“The Girl in the Garden”, by Mary Cassatt, adapted to modern times.

She scrolls through X, a feed full of child abuse and hate speech, while the bourgeoisie politely looks away.

"Mother and Child (Baby Getting Up from His Nap)," Mary Cassatt, c. 1899

Y'all know Cassatt by now, the great American female Impressionist. She's most famous for her paintings of mothers and children, such as we see here.

The child is apparently a boy named Jules, who modeled for Cassatt many times. The identity of the mother is unknown. Cassatt was known for capturing the concepts of maternal affection and duty; here we have a well-dressed mother bathing her child and obviously engrossed in her task.

In 1877, #MaryCassatt became one of only three women, and the only American, ever to join the French Impressionists 💪

"In the Loge" (1878) was the first of Cassatt’s Impressionist paintings to be displayed in the United States.

"Young Thomas and His Mother," Mary Cassatt, 1893.

Pennsylvania-born Cassatt (1844-1926) should be familiar to us; I've featured her before and she's a very popular painter.

In the 1880s, Cassatt became focused on the theme of mothers and children, and produced many, now-familiar works in that genre. Young Thomas and his mother here were repeat models.

These paintings were generally tightly focused, and some felt that indicated a sort of cloistered life; I feel it was a reflection of the intimacy of the relationship between mother and child. Cassatt was not cloistered! She guided many wealthy American travelers to purchase works by her colleagues; it's said now that she's indirectly responsible for many prominent American museum collections.

I have never before had one of the 10 most read articles at Broadstreetreview, where I do arts reporting, but this Year I had two! Woohoo! When I heard I was on the list, I figured, correctly, that it was this one, because who doesn't love MaryCassatt? And curator Jennifer Thompson is a delight to chat with.

"Woman Bathing," Mary Cassatt, 1890-91.

Happy birthday to Mary Cassatt, born 180 years ago today!

The American-born Cassatt lives most of her adult life in France, where she became one of the top Impressionists. Her focus was the everyday lives of women, and although Cassatt never married or had children, she was noted for her explorations of the bonds between mother and child.

Cassatt, like most Impressionists, was fascinated by Japanese prints, and here the influence of Japanese art is clear. The use of color, and the composition of the scene, reflect Japanese influence.

And...there is something unmistakably womanly about this. Too many male artists would have displayed the woman's face and breasts for the viewer's delectation. But here, a woman's eye gives us an intimate, serene scene of a woman's everyday life, without leering or exposing.

Keep cool, folks!

"Lilacs in a Window," Mary Cassatt, c. 1880-83.

Everyone knows Cassatt, and if you don't, you should. This is a bit unusual for her; most of her work was with figures and portraits, and she almost never did still lifes or florals...and yet, here we are.

It's lilac season where I am...driving around, I can see them blooming by the roadside. We're also getting peonies, which for me were always an indication of summer being just around the corner....

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Mary Cassatt: The Woman Who Wasn’t Allowed to Draw

Mary Cassatt, an American artist who lived in France, was a key member of the Impressionist movement. She was known for her paintings of mothers and children, and for her use of pastels. Cassatt's work challenged traditional views of femininity and domesticity.

Paintings by Mary Cassatt (1844-1926). I just love how she captures the awkwardness of parenting a toddler. It’s so timeless and lovely.

I loved the closeness of “Family Group Reading” by Mary Cassatt. It reminded me of so many happy memories involving my parents reading to us or telling us stories. #MaryCassatt #Art

In lieu of my usual Sunday morning art boosts, here is a short thread of a few of my favourite paintings from the Mary Cassatt and Helen McNicholl exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

I just arrived home from visiting the Mary Cassatt and Helen McNicoll exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It was lovely.

As they allowed photography, I’ll share a few favourite paintings from that exhibit tomorrow.

If you live near Toronto or have some other future chance to see their work, I highly recommend checking it out.

Which painters or artists do you all like?
