What was Mary Cassatt famous for?
1 Answer
Mary Cassatt was famous for her portraiture. She was especially drawn to women in everyday domestic settings, especially mothers with their children. Unlike the Madonnas and cherubs of the Renaissance, Cassatt's portraits were unconventional in their direct and honest nature. Some of Cassatt's most well-known works include The Boating Part, The Child's Bath and Little Girl in a Blue Armchair. Shop a wide range of Mary Cassatt art on 1stDibs.
