"Qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?" / "Qu'est-ce que c'est Cassatt?"
Most 19th century Americans reactions when hearing the name of one of America's foremost Impressionist painters.

A beautiful book detailing the life of Cassatt as well as giving the reader a glimpse of her overall work.

Reading about Americans in Paris prodded me to relook at my copy of Cassatt's paintings. She is still my favorite American artist.
