The Saint Louis Art Museum is providing a rare opportunity for St. Louisans to see the graphic art of Mary Cassatt, the only American artist included in the French Impressionist group.
An exhibition of 50 prints by Cassatt opened on Nov. 12 and will continue through January 3 in the Museum’s Cohen Gallery.
Mary Cassatt: Graphic Art, consisting of 15 color prints and 35 drypoints, was organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES).
The showing in St. Louis is assisted by funds from the Missouri Arts Council and The Jordan Charitable Foundation.
Mary Cassatt’s subject matter dealt with the genteel world in which she lived—openings at the opera, tea parties, and her quiet circle of family and friends. American audiences perhaps are most familiar with her mother and child themes, although only 69 of Cassatt’s 244 works deal with this subject.
The exhibition will also be seen in Denver, New Orleans, Fort Worth, Richmond, Grand Rapids, and Philadelphia.
