It's my favorite artist, Mary Cassatt's, birthday today!
Every city I visit, I look to see if there is a local museum that displays any of her work and I have two coffee table books of her work.
Here are more reasons to love her work: "The Reading Group" from 1901
"Susan Comforting the Baby (No. 1)" from 1881
"The Young Bride" from 1875
"Mother Nursing Her Baby" from 1908
"Young Mother Sewing" from 1902
"Margot Embracing Her Mother" from 1902
Degas was her friend and mentor who encouraged her in her work. She never married and was said to have lived for her work. It's remarkable to me that she never had children because she seems to have captured the bond between mother and child in every one of her paintings.
