05/11: So what does make a Cassatt a Cassatt?
Intimate moments between mothers and children are her favorite subjects.
Japanese prints inspired contrasting patterns and tilted perspective
hands link the two figures and tell a story
Cassatt liked to crop her subjects in unexpected ways
Cassatt often used solid lines and clear colors.
This series is excellent. We enjoy along with the Mike Venezia "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists" series.
