Mary Cassatt was an American painter and print-maker. Known to this day as the “painter of mothers and children,” a title given in her lifetime. Born into a fairly wealthy conventional American family in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania., she had the opportunity to grow up in an environment that nurtured travel as part of her education. Cassatt spent five years in Europe and visited many countries, including Paris, London and Berlin. Her exposure to many different artists prompted her to study painting and music. Even though her family objected to her becoming a professional artist, Mary at the age of 15, began studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. After she left the academy, she again traveled to Paris and studied with masters from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
Cassatt had a long and distinguished career and is the only American to exhibit with the Impressionists in Paris.
