Mary Cassatt, Maternal Caress
c. 1896　Philadelphia Museum of Art
Bequest of Aaron E. Carpenter, 1970

 The American-born painter Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was active in Paris in the late 19th century. Following a fateful encounter with Edgar Degas, Cassatt was invited to take part in the Impressionist exhibition, and developed a unique style based on subjects like familiar people and household scenes. Arousing many viewers' sympathies with works that captured mothers and their children with a warm gaze, Cassatt's name became eternally linked to this familial bond.
 This retrospective, the first to be held in Japan in 35 years, is made up of some 100 carefully selected oil paintings, prints, pastels, and drawings. In addition to works from throughout Cassatt’s career, the exhibition includes paintings by the Impressionists she knew and the Japanese ukiyo-e prints she loved. Savor the heartwarming spirit of Mary Cassatt’s art.
