Zoom Adult/TeenJoin Jeff Mishur of Art Excursions for a presentation on Mary Cassatt. This timely lecture coincides with the Art Institute of Chicago's Cassatt exhibit, which runs September 6 through January 3.
Mary Cassatt worked as an artist and businesswoman in an age when most women of her station were restricted to the home. Despite this, she was able to work within her social structure to achieve success by painting private domestic subjects and subjects derived from the everyday life of modern women. She recognized a market opportunity for images of motherhood and depicted ordinary mothers and kids in striking compositions. Jeff Mishur will be discussing a selection of works and themes that Cassatt pursued during her career.
Mishur is an art historian and co-owner of Art Excursions, a company that provides lectures, private guiding, travel consulting, and small group tours in the United States.
