Mary Cassatt Oil Painting Reproductions

Enjoy discovering the reproductions of famous paintings of American Impressionist Movement artist Mary Cassatt who is renowned for portraits of mothers and their children.

Mary Cassatt was born in Pennsylvania in 1844 and died in France in 1926. She played a substantial role in introducing America to the art of the European Impressionist artists by encouraging her wealthy circle of friends to purchase their work.

As a young child Cassatt was encouraged to paint by her parents and she visited France with them during her childhood. She studied at the Pennsylvania School of the Fine Arts but in 1886 she returned to Paris where she became a close friend of Edgar Degas. Their friendship, albeit tumultuous, endured throughout their lives and it is believed that Mary Cassatt sometimes modeled for Edgar Degas' paintings.

Mary Cassatt exhibited with the Impressionist Salon in 1872 with her oil painting of Two Women Throwing Flowers at a Carnival.
