Mary Cassatt was born in Pennsylvania, but she became a part of the French Impressionist circle. Today, she is widely remembered for her somewhat sentimental paintings of mothers and daughters, but the exhibition shows us there was far more to the life and work of Mary Cassatt. We discussed her biography, her paintings and prints including The Coiffure), which is one of the works required for AP Art History.
