An American painter and printmaker, Mary Cassatt (May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an impressionist artist who depicted the lives of women, especially of the special bond between mother and child. Deciding early in her career that marriage was not a feasible option, Cassatt never married, and spent much of her time with her sister Lydia until her death in 1882, which left Mary unable to work for a short time. As her career progressed, her critical reputation grew, and she was often touted, along with Degas, as one of the best exhibitors at the Impressionist Salon. She was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1906. Learn more »
