"Mary Cassatt" by Alix Wood explores the life and artistic journey of the renowned American painter and printmaker. Known for her captivating depictions of women and children, Cassatt defied societal norms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to establish herself in the male-dominated art world. The book delves into her relationships with fellow Impressionists, particularly Edgar Degas, and highlights her commitment to portraying the intimate experiences of women. Through vivid descriptions and engaging insights, readers are invited to appreciate Cassatt's significant contributions to art and her enduring legacy as a pioneer of modern femininity in painting.
