As one of the best-loved artists in the history of art, Mary Cassatt--with her fresh, bold palette and careful compositions--has secured a place in the hearts of generations who continue to enjoy her work. This collection of intimate family scenes offers a delectable taste of the artist's great works. 60 illustrations, 45 in full color.
Very general, brief intro to Cassatt's work with reproductions and explanations of 27 works. Oddly the entire artwork is reproduced quite small, with very large, beautiful full-page details on the facing page. A lot of the images are of her wonderful color prints. Fine for a coffee table book, but the text is an awkward blend of the scholarly and the popular.
