Mary Cassatt: Impressionist Ambassador with Dr. Laura D. Corey

Mary Cassatt was the only American and one of just three women to participate in the official Impressionist exhibitions. Best known for her contributions as an innovative painter and printmaker, she was also a prolific advisor who worked with more than a dozen collectors to bring Impressionism to America. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, the year she settled in Paris, and approaching the centenary of her death in 1926, the time is ripe to reevaluate Cassatt’s legacy and indelible impact on Impressionism.
