Description
Mary Cassatt was known for her two approaches to painting: the broad and easy one, or the narrow and hard one. Born in Pennsylvania, she studied traditional art in Europe before being influenced by Impressionists and Japanese prints. Her works, including At the Opera, showcase her techniques through full-color photographs. These images not only demonstrate Cassatt's artistic methods but also reveal interesting details about her pieces. For example, the figure in Young Woman Sewing in a Garden is wearing white because she wanted other colors to be reflected on it. By studying these photographs and learning from Cassatt's techniques, readers can gain insight into her artistic process. This book provides an opportunity for readers to explore Mary Cassatt's life and art in depth.
