Fine Art Friday – Mary Cassatt
The Map, 1890Mary Cassatt has always been one of my favorites. And who better to highlight so close to Mother’s Day? I just discovered these prints using a technique called drypoint.
A Mother’s Kiss, 1891These two are color drypoints.
The Bath, 1891Happy Mother’s Day!

My next book up (once I finish the one I’m reading) is “Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper” which is historical fiction about Mary and Lydia. I can’t wait to read it.
She’s one of my favorites, and I’m looking forward to learning more about her.
I don’t recall seeing her b&w before; always enjoy expanding my inner gallery! Mary C brings back memories because I had a baby book for my daughter with her artwork in it.
Ahh, Mary Cassatt, already my heart is glad! :0)
she has been popular with me since discovering this painting when Miss Dog Lover was a toddler…. http://explorepahistory.com/displayimage.php?imgId=509 — the little one on Mom’s lap looks just like Miss Dog Lover did.
@TobyBo - That’s a nice piece that isn’t as well-known as some of Cassatt’s other paintings. Thanks for the link.
