Review: This is a wonderful introduction to the life of one of America's most famous artists, Mary Cassatt. Few people realize just how influential Cassatt was in bringing about the acceptance and popularity of Impressionism in her native land. Though she spent most of her life in France, Cassatt almost single-handedly persuaded wealthy Americans to purchase Impressionist paintings, with the result that America has one of the world's most outstanding collections of these works today. Cassatt herself was also a highly accomplished painter and the only American woman ever to be awarded a medal of honor by the French government. This little book is lavishly illustrated, with two fold-outs, and several photographs of the artist and her family. I learned a great deal from this engagingly written book for young people, and recommend it highly.
