Mary Cassatt: The Life of an Artist: Art History School
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American artist born in Allegheny City now part of Pittsburgh, USA on 22 May 1844 one of six children born to Robert and Katherine Cassatt. The family were wealthy, and her mother Katherine was a strong believer in educating women to be knowledgeable and socially active. So, it is not surprising that Mary Cassatt depicted the 19th century New Woman from the woman's perspective.
She studied art initially in the US, but spent most of her life painting in France, returning occasionally to America to see friends. In Paris she met the artist Edgar Degas and they remained close friends with for the rest of his life. She became a member of the Impressionist group and helped develop Impressionism alongside Claude Monet, Eduard Manet and Camille Pissarro.
Although she never married, she was enchanted by her nieces and nephews and excelled in painting children, who dominate her subject matter. She is best known for her paintings of mother and child groups and fashionable portraits and in 1893 she created her most famous painting, The Child's Bath. Her early work with the impressionists is probably her best and is sometimes known as the painter and poet of the nursery. Her paintings are filled with light and joy, perhaps, not what you might expect from the brush of a strong-minded and somewhat stubborn woman. She was at her best with other artists who she saw as her intellectual equals. A strong supporter of the votes for women campaign, she lived into her 80’s but unfortunately, her life did not end well.

Many years ago I made a trip to Canada from israel where I was then living with my son aged 3 years. I wanted to take home some prints for my sons bedroom walls and to help him begin to appreciate art. He chose two by Mary Cassatt and one by Picasso. We still have them!
That's great. Cheers
Her dedication to her craft and her mother and child portraits are absolutely admirable.
Yes, she was a great painter.
Paul, this is my second lesson and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your amazing work. I am disabled and I am an artist. For the last 10 years ir so I have struggled with chronic pain and operations have kept me bed ridden until recently when I decided to paint again and continue learning about art history. I have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons so far and look forward to watching them all. I feel as though you have given us a free college course. God bless you, sir.
Many thanks Dave. I hope the pain doesn't stop you enjoying your artistic journey. Cheers
I did a research paper on Cassatt while I attended MICA many years ago.. This was an excellent presentation. Thank you Paul for introducing her on your channel.
Thank you, much appreciated. Cheers
Brilliant, more female artists please.🥰Mary was equal to any Male impressionist painter of her time.🥰
I think many people would agree that she was the equal of any of the Impressionists.
Yes, more Women Artists, please!! Much Gratitude Paul for Sharing this Knowledge!
Si por favor
Mary's subjects are so relaxed, colourful and beautiful. Thank you so much for this video. Learnt so much about her.
Glad you enjoyed it!
She's the reason I started painting.
Saw several that were new to me. Thank you
Thank you, Cheers
Loved this!!! TY
sara begay - Wow very cool! 😊🎨👍👍
Art History School is an absolute joy to watch! Your stories of an artist life is clearly presented and especially enjoyed with an abundance of paintings you show, titled & dated. Thank you so very much!
Really pleased you like the format of my videos, hopefully they do provide as much information as as clearly as possible. Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool not
Until now I never really liked the work of Mary Cassatt, but you've helped me see beyond the sentimentality to the impact and originality of much of her oeuvre. Your comments on the secular "madonna and child", the use of pattern, and the influence of Japanese prints helped me see more of what she was after. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Cheers
Once again, thank you. Having seen many of Mary's paintings over the years I knew nothing about her, or actually, that she even existed. I always attributed her work to other (*sigh*, male artists). I have to do an in-depth search of her amazing work. LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS!!!
I have another one coming up in the next video. Amrita Sher Gil fascinating artist and only lived for 28 years.
Absolutely fascinating and so well presented!
Thank you, really pleased you enjoyed it.
I love how sweetly sentimental her depictions of mothers and children were💗💕
Yes, they were. Cheers
Love her mother with child portraits especially. This is a marvelous series of artists. Thank you!
You are very welcome.
HER WORK IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
It certainly is
Mary Cassatt is my favorite artist. So enjoyed this video.
Thank you
Thoroughly enjoyable. Educational and touching on a time when art was definitely “on the move”. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
I took art appreciation in college in the 70s and enjoyed it immensely. I was delighted to find your channel. I’m a mixed medium artist creating altered books at present, but also do prophetic art when inspired. Thank you for sharing your research and knowledge. One is never too old to learn.
Really pleased you enjoy my videos, it's true we are never too old to learn. Cheers
You read my mind sir Paul, again. Thank you so much for this profile. Mary is very inspiring and a true representative for independent women of her period. Her paintings are so delicate. Merci beaucoup! XX
You are very welcome. She was a great painter, much underestimated. Many thanks
My favourite youtube channel so far!!! Thank you!
Wow, thanks! Cheers
I loved it, dear Paul. Just beautiful, moving and informativ. Thank you so much for introducing me to a such talented artist!
My pleasure! She deserves more recognition than she gets.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Delightful ! I so enjoyed this look at one of my favorite painters.
Wow, thank you!
FANTASTIC !!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful show of one of my favorite painters. She was an inspiring woman who made a lifetime of her passion into so many gorgeous paintings. Sadly she is often just a footnote among the Impressionist's but deserves much more. Thank you for featuring her and her incredible talent!
Glad you enjoyed it! She is definitely under rated.
Thank you sir paul for this wonderful video..

One off my favorite female Expressionist. She did so much for her piers in Paris, France. Her pastels is incredible beautiful !!! Radiant works off color and light!!! Amazing. Her works, and other Impressionist in Philadelphia Art Museum. Truly art Jevels off Artist and Art history. She and Peggy Gugenheim, major movers and shakers off Art Museum. 🇩🇰🇺🇸🎨🖌️🙏
Couldn't agree more!

Beautiful presentation and production thanks very much Paul it's a wonderful art school!
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Good Monday, Paul! Magnificent job covering Cassatt, a female artist ahead of her time, underappreciated during her life. I wouldn't have minded studying under her, though I still can, in the classical self-teaching tradition. I'm so glad enough of her work survived that we can appreciate and learn from it. Too bad about the mural. Keep up the great work, friend.
Many thanks
I've enjoyed watching your videos of great Artist. I love art 💕 and I've learned so much about it from your videos. I can see how much you love teaching this wonderful topic. Hello from Michigan USA
Many thanks, Cheers from Somerset, England
I loved it, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Thank you, thank you!
You're very welcome!
It's only a 16 min video but because it was so jam-packed with information , after completing the video I felt like I came back to reality from this other world, the world of Miss Mary Cassatt. Thank you
You are very welcome.
Thank you very much! I love her paintings and especially her flower painting of the purple lilacs,
Have tried to find a print of them, but failed so far. Unfortunalely../🌺🎨🖼
Glad you liked the video, not sure where you'd get a print. Cheers
Very informative. I like the format of your artist bios. Brief with the essential facts. Thanks.
Glad you like them! Many thanks
Thank you!
Cheers
I find these old paintings brand new again........has anything touched the joy love and intimacy of human experience more tenderly and more bravely than the impressionists brush.😎
She certainly could paint and depict human emotion.
This was great! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the great work! Subscribed!
Really pleased you enjoyed the video, I hope you like my others. Thanks for subscribing.
@@ArtHistorySchool Yep, been watching a lot of them - really enjoy them! I'm also a UA-cam and make art videos so I really appreciate the time you're putting into these!
Fantastic! I have just been studying Monet and the Impressionists but Mary Cassatt was not mentioned...I love her work and will look deeper into her story and art work. Thank you! I have subscribed...🙂🙂
She is much under rated. Thanks for subscribing. Cheers
I knew of her and some of her work, but not in so much detail. Well done. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
