She was described by Gustave Geffroy in 1894 as one of " les trois grandes dames " of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt.

She was a near contemporary of better-known American artist Mary Cassatt and also received her training in Philadelphia and France.

The American impressionist Mary Cassatt, who at one point lived in Paris to study art, and joined his Impressionist group, noted that he was “ such a teacher that he could have taught the stones to draw correctly .”

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (; May 22, 1844June 14, 1926 ) was an American painter and printmaker.

Cassatt was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, which is now part of Pittsburgh.

She was born into an upper-middle-class family: her father, Robert Simpson Cassat ( later Cassatt ), was a successful stockbroker and land speculator, and her mother, Katherine Kelso Johnston, came from a banking family.

Cassatt was one of seven children, of which two died in infancy.

Although about 20 percent of the students were female, most viewed art as a socially valuable skill ; few of them were determined, as Cassatt was, to make art their career.

Cassatt decided to end her studies ( at that time, no degree was granted ).

Cassatt augmented her artistic training with daily copying in the Louvre ( she obtained the required permit, which was necessary to control the " copyists ", usually low-paid women, who daily filled the museum to paint copies for sale ).

Returning to the United States in the late summer of 1870 — as the Franco-Prussian War was starting — Cassatt lived with her family in Altoona.

Cassatt even considered giving up art, as she was determined to make an independent living.

She attracted much favorable notice in Parma and was supported and encouraged by the art community there: " All Parma is talking of Miss Cassatt and her picture, and everyone is anxious to know her ".

At the end of the nineteenth century, Mary Cassatt was a painter well known for her portraits of mothers.

This was later revealed to be caused by collusion by the leaders of the big railroads, notably Alexander Cassatt, William Kissam Vanderbilt, and Frederick J. Kimball, who sought to control shipping rates and coal prices, and prevent any newcomers from entry.

Following a simultaneous acquisition of Philadelphia-based Cassatt & Co., the firm was reopened as Merrill Lynch, E. A.

: Cassatt, the brother of the American impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, was responsible for the granite curbstones which give so many roads in Lower Merion Township such charm.

Mary Cassatt was born on Rebecca Street in 1844.

Alexander Johnston Cassatt ( December 8, 1839 – December 28, 1906 ) was the seventh president of the Pennsylvania Railroad ( PRR ), serving from June 9, 1899 to December 28, 1906.

The painter Mary Cassatt was his sister.

Frequently referred to as A. J. Cassatt, the great accomplishment under his stewardship was the planning and construction of tunnels under the Hudson River to finally bring PRR's trunk line into New York City.

Unfortunately, Cassatt died before his grand Pennsylvania Station in New York City was completed.

Henri had a brother, Johnny, and was a distant cousin of the noted American painter Mary Cassatt.

Though her family objected to her becoming a professional artist, Cassatt began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia at the early age of 15.

In 1868, Cassatt also studied with artist Thomas Couture, whose subjects were mostly romantic and urban.

With Emily Sartain, a fellow artist from a well-regarded artistic family from Philadelphia, Cassatt set out for Europe again.

Cassatt saw that works by female artists were often dismissed with contempt unless the artist had a friend or protector on the jury, and she would not flirt with jurors to curry favor.

They already had one female member, artist Berthe Morisot, who became Cassatt ’ s friend and colleague.

Since 1935, Tacoma Art Museum has built a permanent collection that includes work from world-renowned artists such as Mary Cassatt, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Edgar Degas, Robert Henri, Edward Hopper, Robert Rauschenberg, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, John Singer Sargent, and Andrew Wyeth.

When Europeans saw them, however, they became a major source of inspiration for Impressionist, Cubist, and Post-Impressionist artists, such as Vincent van Gogh, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others.

Although Degas had no formal pupils, he greatly influenced several important painters, most notably Jean-Louis Forain, Mary Cassatt, and Walter Sickert ; his greatest admirer may have been Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

They had a great influence on many artists, notably Édouard Manet, Pierre Bonnard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Félix Vallotton and Mary Cassatt.

Artists who were influenced by Japanese art include: Arthur Wesley Dow, Pierre Bonnard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Renoir, James McNeill Whistler ( Rose and silver: La princesse du pays de porcelaine, 1863 – 64 ), Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin, Bertha Lum, Will Bradley, Aubrey Beardsley, Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, the sisters Frances and Margaret Macdonald, as well as architects Edward W. Godwin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Stanford White, and ceramicists Edmond Lachenal and Taxile Doat.

She avoided urban and street scenes as well as the nude figure and, like her fellow female Impressionist Mary Cassatt, focused on domestic life and portraits in which she could use family and personal friends as models.

Unlike her predecessor Mary Cassatt, who had arrived near the beginning of the Impressionist movement 15 years earlier and who had absorbed it, Beaux's artistic temperament, precise and true to observation, would not align with Impressionism and she remained a realist painter for the rest of her career, even as Cézanne, Matisse, Gauguin, and Picasso were beginning to take art into new directions.

" Though overshadowed by Mary Cassatt and relatively unknown to museum-goers today, Beaux's craftsmanship and extraordinary output were highly regarded in her time.

Pissarro, Degas, and American impressionist Mary Cassatt self-published a journal of their original prints in the late 1870s, which contained a large group of their own fine etchings.

Cassatt had befriended Degas and Pissarro years earlier when she joined Pissarro's newly formed French Impressionist group and gave up opportunities to exhibit in the United States.

Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

Katherine Cassatt, educated and very well read, had a profound influence on her daughter.

Cassatt grew up in an environment that viewed travel as integral to education ; she spent 5 years in Europe and visited many of the capitals, including London, Paris, and Berlin.

The museum also served as a social meeting place for Frenchmen and American female students, who like Cassatt, were not allowed to attend cafes where the avant-garde socialized.

Cassatt, on the other hand, would continue to work in the traditional manner, submitting works to the Salon for over ten years, with increasing frustration.
