-Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker known for her intimate portraits and scenes of mothers and children. She was closely associated with the French Impressionists and was the only American artist to exhibit with them in Paris. Cassatt's works often depicted the bond between mothers and their children, capturing tender moments with sensitivity and grace. She employed a soft color palette and fluid brushwork, characteristic of Impressionism, to create scenes suffused with light and emotion. Later in her career, Cassatt's style evolved towards Post-Impressionism, marked by a greater emphasis on form and structure. Her contributions to the Impressionist movement and her innovative approach to depicting the complexities of human relationships have earned her a lasting place in art history.
