Age toning. *** "Mary Cassatt's paintings and prints have long been treasured as some of the finest examples of Impressionist art. A rebel by the Victorian standards of her time, Mary Cassatt moved from the art schools of staid Philadelphia to the boulevards of Paris, where the young Impressionist movement was flourishing. Degas, her friend and mentor, encouraged her involvement in the new art movement. Cassatt's luminous, observant, and innovative works-chiefly interiors with women and children-helped define Impressionism and have been compared to Raphael's paintings for their beauty and dignity. Frank Getlein, noted art critic and historian, has selected 72 of Cassatt's finest works, each reproduced here in full color. His accompanying text relates the intimate details of her life to her paintings while clearly defining her relation to fellow artists and her place in modern art. The publication of this book marks the first time that so many of Cassatt's paintings and prints, some rarely seen by American audiences, have been made available at a popular price." - Publisher.

Original photographically illustrated stapled wrappers (covers lightly toned at edges, else fine). From the publisher: "The Eakins Press Foundation commissioned Jerry L. Thompson to create an album of photographs showing her work as she displays it, in the midst of nature rather than in the abstract environment and spotlights of an art gallery." Hilton Kramer writes: "Mary Frank is a magnificent anomaly among contemporary sculptors. While so many others expend their energy on making sculpture a language of cerebration, securely quarantined against direct expressions of feeling, she insists on making it a language of passion. It is certainly unusual these days-not only in the art of sculpture but also in virtually every corner of our culture-to find the imagery of eroticism so candidly depicted without recourse to the least trace of violence or vulgarity. The hand of the artistic process is communicated with the directness of a song." Uncommon.
