In an age dominated by the conventions and prejudices of Victorian society, this young Philadelphian from a conservative upper~middle~class background made her way to Europe and became the first and only American artist to be part of the French Impressionist revolution that was taking place in Paris. Determined almost from childhood to be an artist, Cassatt had enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts when she was sixteen. Six years later, she prevailed upon her family to allow her to study abroad. Though she received some formal instruction in Paris and the provinces, her most important teachers for the next few years were the old master paintings in the museums of Europe. In 1868 her first painting was accepted for the Paris Salon. In 1874 a painting of hers shown in the Salon caught the attention of Degas, who remarked, "There is someone who feels as I do." Degas's invitation to the thirty~three~year~old Cassatt to join the Impressionists, in 1877, was the beginning of a forty~year association at once close and stormy~and to this day enigmatic. A staunch supporter of the Impressionist movement in the face of public derision, Cassatt showed her work in four of the historic Impressionist exhibitions. Devoted to the new realism and to portraying the life of her own day with candor and boldness, Cassatt was untypical in her preference for figure painting. Her dramatic theater scenes, psychologically telling studies of women, and fresh, original mother and child oils, pastels, drawings, and prints won increasing acclaim. Though she lived permanently in France, Cassatt always thought of herself as an American; she encouraged Americans to buy Impressionist and old master art and was influential in the forming of several American collections. An avowed champion of the cause of women, she was selected to paint a mural on the theme of "Modern Woman" for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.…
