Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman

The main theme of Mary Cassatt's paintings are women. The women around him are often depicted working and being active. This intellectual image of active women was a big change in the way women were represented in art. Showcasing  Cassatt's stunning prints, pastels and drawings, this film introduces us to an often overlooked part of the Impressionist movement, one whose career was as complex, evolving, and changing as the women he painted.
