About Mary Cassatt

American painter who first went to Paris in 1866 and, after a spell back in the United States during the Franco-Prussian War, settled in France for good in 1874. Edgar Degas invited her to join the Impressionists in 1877; she first showed with them in 1879 and was the only American to exhibit with the group. Her subject was the private life of women, above all mothers and children, handled with the flattened space and cropped framing she drew from Japanese prints. She also shaped American taste by advising collectors such as Louisine Havemeyer, whose Impressionist purchases later entered public collections in the United States.
