Scope and Content Note

From the Sub-Series:

Mary Cassatt, Philadelphia-born artist, was the only American ever invited to exhibit with the French Impressionists. Eventually, she settled in Paris, but Philadelphia remains the largest repository of her work, and she played a pivotal role in encouraging Philadelphia-area collectors to acquire Impressionist paintings despite the critical attitudes taken by her contemporaries. Suzanne G. Lindsay, a guest curator and specialist in 19th-century art, organized the exhibition selected 52 paintings, drawings, and prints for display, each chosen to emphasize the artist's connections with the city that she considered her American home. The exhibition was supported by Mellon Bank, The Bohen Foundaion, and The Pew Memorial Trust, with additional funding from the Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
