Description: This volume presents a selection of the prints by American artist Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) from the collection of The National Gallery, Canada. As well as being a skillful painter, Cassatt was a gifted printmaker. Cassatt was a friend and collaborator of fellow Impressionist Edgar Degas, and, like him, she often depicted the day-to-day lives of women -- with seamstresses, confiding in companions, and caring for children. In the early 1890s, Cassatt was also inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and as a result, she infused many of her works with striking Asian forms and patterns that were refreshing and technically innovative.
