Mary Cassatt: Impressionist Painter

(4) 4-6 This biography uses Cassatt's life to make a point about following one's dreams. The text outlines her childhood ambitions, the challenges she faced, and her eventual artistic success. Numerous reproductions of paintings help inform the text's discussion of Cassatt's subjects and techniques, though the commentary can be vague and bland ("The people in her pictures showed their feelings in their faces").
