Mary Cassatt: The Life of an Artist

48 pp. | Enslow | July, 2004 | Library ISBN 0-7660-2093-2 $23.93
(4) K-3 Artist Biographies series. This straightforward biography of Impressionist painter Cassatt focuses primarily on how the artist's life (particularly her exposure to European and Asian art forms) influenced her own developing style. Also emphasized are Cassatt's particular struggles as a woman artist. Large, easy-to-read type may be appealing, but most of the reproductions are relegated to sidebars and are too small to be effective. Timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
