EXHIBITIONMary CassattAn American Impressionist in ParisFrom 9 March to 23 July 2018
“In the
spring of 2018, Culturespaces and the Musée Jacquemart-André will be holding
a major retrospective devoted to Mary Cassatt (1844–1926). Considered during
her lifetime as the greatest American artist, Cassatt lived in France for
more than sixty years. She was the only American painter to have exhibited
her work with the Impressionists in Paris.
The female
representative of impressionism
The
exhibition focuses on the only American female artist in the Impressionist
movement; she was spotted by Degas in the 1874 Salon, and subsequently
exhibited her works alongside those of the group. This monographic exhibition
will enable visitors to rediscover Mary Cassatt through fifty major works,
comprising oils, pastels, drawings, and engravings, which, complemented by
various documentary sources, will convey her modernist approach — that of an
American woman in Paris.
A
franco-american approach of painting
Born into a
wealthy family of American bankers with French origins, Mary Cassatt spent a
few years in France during her childhood, continuing her studies at the
Pennsylvania Fine Arts Academy, and eventually settled in Paris. Therefore,
she lived on both continents. This cultural duality is evident in the
distinctive style of the artist, who succeeded in making her mark in the male
world of French art and reconciling these two worlds.
The
originality of her vision
Just like
Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt excelled in the art of portraiture, to which she
adopted an experimental approach. Influenced by the Impressionist movement
and its painters who liked to depict daily life, Mary Cassatt’s favourite
theme was portraying the members of her family, whom she represented in their
intimate environment. Her unique vision and modernist interpretation of a
traditional theme such as the mother and child earned her international
recognition. Through this subject, the general public will discover many
familiar aspects of French Impressionism and Postimpressionism, along with
new elements that underscore Mary Cassatt’s decidedly American identity.
A
prestigious selection
The exhibition
will bring together a selection of exceptional works loaned from major
American museums, such as Washington’s National Gallery of Art, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,
the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Terra Foundation in Chicago; works
will also be loaned by prestigious institutions in France — the Musée
d’Orsay, the Petit Palais, INHA, and the BnF (French National Library) — and
in Europe, such as the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts, the Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation in Lisbon, and the Bührle Foundation in Zurich. There will also be
many works from private collections. Rarely exhibited, these masterpieces
will be brought together in the exhibition for the first time.
