Mary Cassatt: After Impressionism

About the Exhibition

This exhibition, the Art Institute of Chicago's first devoted to Mary Cassatt in 25 years, presents more than 75 works spanning from the late 1880s to the early 1900s. It is conceived around the period of her most experimental and daring work, her creative activity following Impressionism. Key works include 'The Child's Bath' (1891) and 'The Boating Party' (1900), showing the original perspective she brought to paintings of women and family. Spanning the late 1880s to the early 1900s, the exhibition spotlights her role as a woman artist and her place in art history after Impressionism. Visitors can experience her creative growth and artistic achievement through her rich watercolors and oil paintings, with works depicting scenes of everyday life through a woman's gaze standing out in particular.
