Item description for Mary Cassatt Modern Woman Screen Saver & Wallpaper PC Software NEW SEALED

Published to accompany a traveling exhibition opening at the Art Institute of Chicago. In an era when few American women thought seriously about pursuing careers outside of marriage and motherhood, Mary Cassatt's ambition and professional independence were unique. Cassatt (1844-1926) was only thirty-three when she was invited to exhibit with the French Impressionists, and she remained the only American truly associated with this group. The 25 reproductions of Cassatt's work presented in this ScreenSaver demonstrate why her paintings continue to grow in popularity even as the 21st century approaches.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh's North Side), but lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children. She was described by Gustave Geffroy as one of "les trois grandes dames" (the three great ladies) of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot. In 1879, Diego Martelli compared her to Degas, as they both sought to depict movement, light, and design in the most modern sense.
