This volume presents the life and works of American painter Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), with over 50 color plates of her artwork. In a Victorian age when most women were confined to the circumscribed world of marriage, homemaking and motherhood, Cassatt blazed like a shooting star across the firmament of the male dominated international art world. She was the only American, male or female, to become a member of the French Impressionists.
Often regarded as merely the creator of sentimental images of mothers and children or an expatriate heavily influenced by Impressionism, Mary Cassatt is not typically regarded as an artist of radical convictions. This text re-evaluates these dismissals and presents a complete overview of her mural.
The foremost female American artist of the late nineteenth century, Mary Cassatt lived much of her life in France, where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the other Impressionists. Her compositions are celebrated for their stunning depiction of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bond shared between mothers and children. Her work and support of the avant-garde exerted a lasting influence on the development of the American taste in art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.

In the decades following the American Civil War and leading up to the First World War, a definitive shift in power took place between Spain and the United States. This original book explores American artists’ perceptions of Spain during this period of turmoil and demonstrates how their responses to Spanish art helped to answer emerging, complex questions about American national identity. M. Elizabeth Boone focuses on works by Thomas Eakins, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, John Singer Sargent, Robert Henri, and other American artists who traveled to Spain to study the achievements of such great masters as Murillo, Velázquez, and Goya. The resulting American paintings, some well known and others now largely forgotten, provide intriguing insights not only into the 19th-century American struggle to define itself as an imperial power but also into the relations between the United States and the Spanish-speaking world today.
