assembled by Jone Johnson Lewis I am independent! I can live alone and I love to work. Why do people so love to wander? I think the civilized parts of the World will suffice for me in the future. Cezanne is one of the most liberal artists I have ever seen. He prefaces every remark with Pour moi it is so and so, but he grants that everyone may be as honest and as true to nature from their convictions; he doesn't believe that everyone should see alike. Edouard Degas to Mary Cassatt: Most women paint as though they are trimming hats. Not you. [Quoted in The American Woman's Almanac , Louise Bernikow] Mary Cassatt's visit home, long after she had become famous in Europe, was reported in the Philadelphia newspaper as the arrival of "Mary Cassatt, sister of Mr. Cassatt, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who has been studying painting in France and owns the smallest Pekingese dog in the world."

Frauen-Biographie der Woche: Mary Cassatt
geb. 22. Mai 1844 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania amerikanische Malerin und Graphikerin 75. Todestag am 14. Juni 2001 Diese "Tochter aus gutem Hause" entschloß sich früh und gegen den Wunsch ihres Vaters, Malerin zu werden, und wurde zur bedeutendsten Künstlerin ihrer Zeit. Während eines vierjährigen Aufenthalts der amerikanischen Bankiersfamilie in Europa lernte Cassatt als Kind die Gemälde der europäischen Museen kennen und setzte später eine künstlerische Ausbildung in Philadelphia und Paris durch. Sehr bald schon allerdings arbeitete sie selbständig: "Der Unterricht der Museen genügt." Mit großer Selbstdisziplin studierte sie in Paris, Italien und Spanien die Werke von Meistern wie Correggio, Velázquez und Rubens. Ihre Bilder wurden vom Pariser Salon angenommen und ausgestellt, aber als Degas versuchte, die junge Malerin für die neue Bewegung der (später ImpressionistInnen) zu gewinnen, zögerte sie nicht: "Ich habe mit Freude angenommen. ... Ich lehnte die konventionelle Kunst ab. Ich fing an zu leben." Damit begann auch eine jahrelange, beiderseits produktive Freundschaft mit Degas. Sie stellte jetzt mit den ImpressionistInnen aus und trug dazu bei, daß sie auch in Amerika langsam bekannt wurden.

Cassatt, Mary
(b. May 22, 1844, Allegheny City, Pa., U.S.d. June 14, 1926, Château de Beaufresne, near Paris, Fr.), American painter and printmaker who exhibited with the Impressionists.
Encyclopaedia Britannica
(1844-1926) The daughter of an affluent Pittsburgh businessman, whose French ancestry had endowed him with a passion for that country, she studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and then travelled extensively in Europe, finally settling in Paris in 1874. In that year she had a work accepted at the Salon and in 1877 made the acquaintance of Degas , with whom she was to be on close terms throughout his life. His art and ideas had a considerable influence on her own work; he introduced her to the Impressionists and she participated in the exhibitions of 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1886, refusing to do so in 1882 when Degas did not. She was a great practical support to the movement as a whole, both by providing direct financial help and by promoting the works of Impressionists in the USA, largely through her brother Alexander. By persuading him to buy works by Manet Monet Morisot Renoir , Degas and Pissarro , she made him the first important collector of such works in America. She also advised and encouraged her friends the Havemeyers to build up their important collection of works by Impressionists and other contemporary French artists.

http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/cassatt/intro.html
Introduction How did Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), a young woman from a respectable family in Pennsylvania, become the only American to exhibit with the revolutionary French painters known as the Impressionists? Visitors to the MFA this spring can discover-or rediscover-this distinguished artist in the first complete retrospective of her work in over thirty years. Almost one hundred of Cassatt's most beautiful compositions in all media are included in the exhibition, the first time so many have ever been shown in Boston. Cassatt's life was marked by her bold resolve to transcend conventional expectations for women and to succeed as an innovative professional artist. After her education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, she continued her studies in Europe and settled permanently in Paris in 1874. Her early paintings, which she displayed at the important annual Salon exhibitions, incorporate fashionable Spanish and Italian themes. But Cassatt embraced more radical art in the mid-1870s, when she discovered the works of the Impressionists, turned toward subjects drawn from modern life, and (as she later recalled) "began to live." Cassatt was soon invited by Edgar Degas to join the Impressionist circle. Over the next twenty-five years, she created brilliant pastels, paintings, and prints that depict contemporary women attending the opera, drinking tea, reading, and caring for children. In 1893, Cassatt was asked to paint a monumental decoration for the world's fair in Chicago. This mural, called Modern Woman, established her reputation in the United States. Its title reminds us that, in her own day Cassatt was both a modern artist and a modern woman. This exhibition offers new insights about her world and her art.

Pittsburgh (1844) - Le Mesnil-Théribus (1926)
Estilo: Impresionismo
Mary Cassatt era hija de un banquero norteamericano que nunca se mostró favorable a su deseo de llevar una carrera artítica. Toda la familia Cassatt se trasladó a París en 1851, viviendo algunos años en Alemania. En 1861 Mary estudia en la Pennsylvannia Academy of Fine Arts de Filadelfia durante cuatro años, donde obtendrá un acento académico que llevará consigo a París cuando en 1868 esté en el taller de Chaplin, aunque tampoco influyera este pintor académico excesivamente en su estilo. En estos años encontramos en ella cierta atracción hacia la pintura de Courbet . Inicia un viaje por Italia en 1871, descubriendo una profunda admiración por Velázquez y Rembrabdt lo que le motivará a viajar a España y a Holanda. Instalada definitivamente en París en 1877, se inicia su relación con Degas - algunos la llegan a considerar como su alumna - quien le recomienda integrarse en el grupo impresionista . A partir de ese momento su estilo se acerca más a Renoir y a Degas, participando en cuatro de las ocho exposiciones impresionistas con sus cuadros de niños y mujeres, temas que serán sus favoritos. En 1891 empezó su andadura en solitario en la galería Durand-Ruel, quien se convirtió en su marchante. Debido a su desahogada situación económica, Mary compró un buen número de obras a sus compañeros e incluso animó a algunos millonarios norteamericanos a que invirtieran en pintura impresionista. Sus continuos viajes la llevan a numerosos lugares europeos e incluso a Oriente Medio. A partir de 1912 se pone de manifiesto en Mary una ceguera parcial que provocará la pérdida progresiva de visión, abandonando la pintura desde ese momento en el que empieza a recibir honores como la Legión de Honor francesa o la medalla de oro de la Pennsylvania Academy of Art. Gracias a su trabajo, el Impresionismo se introdujo con fuerza en los Estados Unidos. También destaca su faceta como grabadora en la que muestra una marcada influencia de la estampa japonesa.
