Mary Cassattová citáty

Mary Stevenson Cassattová bola americká maliarka. Značnú časť svojho života strávila vo Francúzsku, kde sa tiež zoznámila s Edgarom Degasom a neskôr vystavovala s preslávenými impresionistami. V roku 1894 ju Gustave Geffroy zaradil medzi "tri najvýznamnejšie impresionistické maliarky" po boku Marie Bracquenmondovej a Berthe Morisotovej. Jej najčastejším umeleckým námetom boli scény z každodenného života žien, zobrazenie matiek s deťmi a intímna atmosféra rodinného života. Wikipedia
