Today is Mary Cassatt’s birthday. Here’s a painting by her:
Two Women Seated by a Woodland Stream by Mary Cassatt. Source
While respecting the fact that she was one of the leading female impressionists and one of the few women artists most people can recognize, I have to admit that I’m a bit bored by Cassatt’s endless mothers-and-babies subject matter. She painted her world, but what a narrow world it was, with motherhood being the only possible career for so many women.
