MARY CASSATT: BELOVED AMERICAN IMPRESSIONIST

Mary Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker, but lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas, and later exhibited among the Impressionists.  Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children. Many of her works have become icons of the Impressionist movement.   Come and hear Beth Stein discuss the life of this extraordinary woman who defied the conventions of her time to become one of the most beloved of all artists.
