Birth Of Mary Cassatt
Cassatt was one of seven children born into an upper-middle-class family. They moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania and later Philadelphia, where Cassatt first attended school at the age of six.
Cassatt eventually started studying under Charles Joshua Chaplin and Thomas Couture. In 1868, the jury at the Paris Salon selected her painting A Mandoline Player. She was one of the first two women to exhibit her work at the Salon.
After around 1900, most of Cassatt’s paintings focused on mothers and children. She had two paintings on display at the famed 1913 Armory show, which both depicted mothers and children. Cassatt suffered from several health issues that left her nearly blind, forcing her to stop painting in 1914. She died on June 14, 1926. Among the honors bestowed on her since her death are a WWII Liberty ship and induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
