Mary Cassatt:  An American Impressionist in Paris

Mary Cassatt worked as an artist in an age when most women of her station were restricted to the home. 

Despite this, she was able to work within her social structure to achieve success by painting private domestic subjects and subjects derived from the everyday life of modern women. She recognized a market opportunity for images of motherhood and depicted ordinary mothers and kids in striking compositions. Jeff Mishur will be discussing a selection of works and themes that Cassatt pursued during her career.  Jeff Mishur is Vice President and Co-owner of Art Excursions, a company that provides lectures, private guiding, and boutique art and cultural tours in the United States. He holds an M.A. and a B.A. in the History of Art from Northern Illinois University.

The Art Institute of Chicago exhibit on Mary Cassatt runs September 6, 2026–January 3, 2027.
