Many years ago I made a trip to Canada from israel where I was then living with my son aged 3 years. I wanted to take home some prints for my sons bedroom walls and to help him begin to appreciate art. He chose two by Mary Cassatt and one by Picasso. We still have them!
Paul, this is my second lesson and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your amazing work. I am disabled and I am an artist. For the last 10 years ir so I have struggled with chronic pain and operations have kept me bed ridden until recently when I decided to paint again and continue learning about art history. I have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons so far and look forward to watching them all. I feel as though you have given us a free college course. God bless you, sir.
I did a research paper on Cassatt while I attended MICA many years ago.. This was an excellent presentation. Thank you Paul for introducing her on your channel.
Until now I never really liked the work of Mary Cassatt, but you've helped me see beyond the sentimentality to the impact and originality of much of her oeuvre. Your comments on the secular "madonna and child", the use of pattern, and the influence of Japanese prints helped me see more of what she was after. Thank you so much!
Art History School is an absolute joy to watch! Your stories of an artist life is clearly presented and especially enjoyed with an abundance of paintings you show, titled & dated. Thank you so very much!
You read my mind sir Paul, again. Thank you so much for this profile. Mary is very inspiring and a true representative for independent women of her period. Her paintings are so delicate. Merci beaucoup! XX
Once again, thank you. Having seen many of Mary's paintings over the years I knew nothing about her, or actually, that she even existed. I always attributed her work to other (*sigh*, male artists). I have to do an in-depth search of her amazing work. LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS!!!
Thank you for speaking of such a brilliant artist that unfortunately has been played down by many art books just because of her gender. Your work is brilliant as always
I took art appreciation in college in the 70s and enjoyed it immensely. I was delighted to find your channel. I’m a mixed medium artist creating altered books at present, but also do prophetic art when inspired. Thank you for sharing your research and knowledge. One is never too old to learn.
She was a great artist whose gifts allowed her to express the relationship between mother and child in a way few other artists have been able to match.
One off my favorite female Expressionist. She did so much for her piers in Paris, France. Her pastels is incredible beautiful !!! Radiant works off color and light!!! Amazing. Her works, and other Impressionist in Philadelphia Art Museum. Truly art Jevels off Artist and Art history. She and Peggy Gugenheim, major movers and shakers off Art Museum. 🇩🇰🇺🇸🎨🖌️🙏
FANTASTIC !!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful show of one of my favorite painters. She was an inspiring woman who made a lifetime of her passion into so many gorgeous paintings. Sadly she is often just a footnote among the Impressionist's but deserves much more. Thank you for featuring her and her incredible talent!
I adore her determination, her stamina and her devotion to her creativity of her artistic achievements in her paintings. Stubborn, headstrong and feisty she certainly was contributed to her determination to achieve her art. Being a wealthy woman certainly helped her travel to many countries to feast her eyes on the old Masters. I just love her fiery spirit and whole hearted dedication to painting.
Determination is the factor which defines the good from the great, not just in art but in most walks of life. She was a very determined woman and that allowed her talent to flourish.
I find these old paintings brand new again........has anything touched the joy love and intimacy of human experience more tenderly and more bravely than the impressionists brush.😎
It's only a 16 min video but because it was so jam-packed with information , after completing the video I felt like I came back to reality from this other world, the world of Miss Mary Cassatt. Thank you
Thank you Paul. I have always liked Mary Cassatt's paintings. After seeing more of her work in your video, I have even more respect for her. She was a master painter.
The influence of Japanese woodcuts became an important design element of her work & it is wonderful to see the direct evidence. Thanks for showing so many overlooked pieces. 💜
My first-ever research paper was about Mary Cassatt, when I was in eighth grade, newly arrived as an immigrant at Southampton Middle School. My English proficiency was limited at the time. Mr. Collins, my English teacher, randomly assigned me to write a research paper on her. Little did I know the impact it would have on me as a photography enthusiast. My most artistic photographs captured the loneliness of my two little cousins in America.
Sixteen minutes of the most comprehensive, delightfully presented and informative history of the artist Mary Cassatt. A wonderful journey through the life and work of a monumental artist whose work still appears vibrant and meaningful. Thank you so much for this great tutorial!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video of Mary Cassatt, whose work I had only begun to discover in recent times. You have given me the opportunity to explore stunning paintings that, like so very many other art lovers, I used to love exploring in the galleries of France and of the Netherlands (where I lived for a number of years just around the corner from the major Amsterdam museums), as well as in my native London. However now in poor health, even those are also outside my ability to manage! You are showing me so very many more stunning paintings than I could ever manage to see in real life, even if younger and with good health. I shall so enjoy learning more about others of my favourite artists from your other videos! I have been trying to introduce my young grandchildren to great artists through some of the wonderful books now produced especially for their age, and will hope that they in turn, will seek out their own favourite artists' works. Thank you again, you are greatly enhancing my aesthetic interests, otherwise restricted by my increasingly limited physical capabilities! x Judith
Thank you for this wonderful coverage of Cassatt, Paul. I must have watched it previously on another account, bc it was bookmarked in my browser. But it's well worth any number of re-views. Cassatt was a trailblazer in a lengthy series of pivotal moments in history for art, women and humankind concurrently, much as we are in now. It's hard to find a piece of hers that I don't like. Among my favorites are Little Girl in a Blue Armchair, Woman Bathing and The Child's Bath. I would have loved to have been her travel companion to Egypt and discovered different cultures' art. The family could have gone back to the US or Europe without us. We would have just globetrotted and arted together forevermore. Thanks again, Paul.
Glad you did one on Mary Cassatt, she’s one of my favorite impressionists and quite underrated! Thanks Paul - you really make great art history videos.👍🏻
Your art history classes are among the most memorable of my lengthy lifetime. Mary Cassatt was surely never considered as important as her fellow impressionists but should have been. I painted and always used a male name to sign. It worked. Always wondered if signing my own name would have mattered. Thank you again. 🤓
We have to categorise, it's a shame that categories often come with value judgments. Being a woman should no relevance to the value of the work produced. Cassatt should be seen on a par with her male Impressionist painters
Hello!! In my school we study all about painters from 1800-1900! This time we are doing Mary Cassatt. I had to go on a trip and was unable to bring the book of her life and the place we went had books in another language. This was helpful and I will definitely be watching your content! You give details of the work there life ect.! Unlike what are book provides. This is amazing because I can pause the video to write notes ect.! Thank for showing us amazing painters!
@@ArtHistorySchool Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing and educating me (and others). Would you agree that altho her subject matter wasn't (and may still not be) well regarded, she recorded a portion of daily life that was less/under represented, and that as a result, she contributed not only to the art world, but recorded historical data that would otherwise be lost? What a remarkable painter. Thank you so much for sharing your passion. Be safe; be well.
Thank you very much! I love her paintings and especially her flower painting of the purple lilacs, Have tried to find a print of them, but failed so far. Unfortunalely../🌺🎨🖼
I was just looking at The Cradle the other day and it was mesmerizing to me how she was able to paint the veil along with conveying emotion in her subject matter, nice to see the light shine on a female master.
Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe présentation d’une artiste unique et tellement appréciée 🌼⚡️ So enjoyed your wonderful look at such a exquisite artist 🌺 Most generous of you to share with us 🍂🍀🌹
In 1857, she moved to Ecouen (France) and joined the local Colony of artists, studying genre painting with Paul Soyer, then Pierre Edouard Frere and Thomas Couture. She painted there "La jeune fille à la mandoline", signed Mary Stevenson. She met Corot who influenced her painting.
I'm sorry but this is incorrect. She was 13 years old in 1857 and living in Allegheny City, USA with her parents. She didn't didn't move to Paris until 1866. She had lived in France and Germany as a young child with her family. The painting 'La jeune fille à la mandoline' is dated 1876. She worked with Couture but much later than you suggest.
You are my most Favourite art teacher!!❤️. THANK YOU for providing such fascinating lectures coupled with stunning visuals of both art and historical places.
My Grandaddy Frederick A Sweet wrote the first Biography of Ms. Cassat. He was Curator of paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago and bought dozens of her works during his decades there for the Museum.
@@ArtHistorySchool Yep, been watching a lot of them - really enjoy them! I'm also a RUclips and make art videos so I really appreciate the time you're putting into these!
I've enjoyed watching your videos of great Artist. I love art 💕 and I've learned so much about it from your videos. I can see how much you love teaching this wonderful topic. Hello from Michigan USA
Thank you for an excellent video; your setup of the times on the left with your commentary while displaying Mary’s work on the right provided such an interesting format!
Art history is obviously, a favorite topic. I live in a very rural place where it is not a topic at all, so I am thankful to you and Mr. Solomon, etc. for helping to educate and interest people. I wonder if you approached your subjects by schools of art instead of individual artists to further introduce great unknowns? At a museum, actually near me, they had the first exhibition of Women Artists of 19c. Paris. 9 out of 10 were unknown. It was the largest attended in their history of shows. Each woman had a fascinating life because of their unique situations. I think the tide is turning toward the new and unknown. I.e. Artemisia Gentileschi is being featured at your National Gallery. From that, Jane Fortune, who has passed found great paintings by Renaissance women hidden in coffers and church attics in Florence. So more and more are coming out of hiding. Thank God! The tried and true are slowly being supplanted by even better artists. In my humble, ha! opinion the Impressionists are so over rated because they painted quickly with bright colors so they were the “ happy” painters. They did not paint atmosphere as did the Barbizon or The Hague or the Tonalists, etc. Their works are easy to grasp because they were easy to paint. Also, if an artist is known for their individual style more than the objective of their subject, then it is in the realm of narcissism. Monet’s Water lilies are the perfect examples. He painted them as globs instead of their incredible delicacy.. but we all know who painted them! Bendor Grosvenor is another terrific art historian with a great series. Thank you for this interesting discussion.
Yes it's good more female artists are getting the recognition they deserve. I can't agree with you regarding Impressionism and here's why. The Barbizon school, Millet et al, were part of the Realism movement that rebelled against the Romantics and as you say they painted objects to look as real as possible so it can be easier to understand the narrative. The Impressionists took a quite different view. Their paintings are based on perceptions and the effects light has on perceptions, not realism. If you look at a realist painting there is little left for the viewer to do other than admire the skill and techniques used to create the narrative. An impressionist painting requires the viewer to complete the painting by creating the details from the perceptions received in the painting. Take Monet's painting of the Poppy Field, the two figures - his wife and son - have no faces yet no one notices, because we fill the detail in. We take part in the creation of the image. It is the same idea that exists with a book, it is full of words which on their own are useless. But once the reader reads the text and creates the images in their mind from the author's words, the story is created. The better the author, the better the reader is able to create the images. The great authors suggest they don't tell, because this allows the reader more scope for their imagination. The same applies to Monet and the Impressionists, their paintings, by removing the detail, place us in a world of perceptions, feel the heat, the sunshine, the cold, the atmosphere. Open your mind and 'read' their paintings and see where it takes you. I would suggest that if you judge Impressionism using the same premise you judge the Realists, you are probably missing the point. Cheers
Good Monday, Paul! Magnificent job covering Cassatt, a female artist ahead of her time, underappreciated during her life. I wouldn't have minded studying under her, though I still can, in the classical self-teaching tradition. I'm so glad enough of her work survived that we can appreciate and learn from it. Too bad about the mural. Keep up the great work, friend.
Thank you so much for your work ! This was very helpful to help me build my presentation about Mary Cassatt for university. I'll definitely watch more of your videos !
Thank you so much. This was wonderful. I especially liked the blue eyes and blue China and thought it very striking. I try to encourage the children to let go of detail ( it frustrates them into not wanting to create) which is such a shame. One is very detailed oriented and the other gets intimidated. But both create wonderfully just very differently and that is perfectly alright to do.
There is a wonderful portrait in the NCMA . I return to it regularly. It is of a wealthy lady dressed in black. I’ve tried to get people interested, but most don’t understand her subtlety. Very well made presentation. I subscribed!
Thank you for this lovely and informative video on Mary Cassatt. The Japanese influence is especially strong in those images of her prints. To your ever expanding list of possible artist subjects for future videos could you please add Sarolla and Caillebotte.
Oh yes, I discovered some Sarollas a few years ago at an exhibition in the National Gallery 'Painting the Modern Garden'. I hadn't come across him before, and loved his brilliance in conveying the heat and luminescence of the Spanish sunshine. I too should love to know more!
Saw a great exhibit of her decades ago. I think it was at the National Gallery in Washington D.C. but I might be wrong. This is the first time you've shown up in my feed in a long time. I've missed your videos.

Brilliant, more female artists please.🥰Mary was equal to any Male impressionist painter of her time.🥰
I think many people would agree that she was the equal of any of the Impressionists.
Yes, more Women Artists, please!! Much Gratitude Paul for Sharing this Knowledge!

My first-ever research paper was about Mary Cassatt, when I was in eighth grade, newly arrived as an immigrant at Southampton Middle School. My English proficiency was limited at the time.

My most artistic photographs captured the loneliness of my two little cousins in America.
Wow, that's interesting.
I remember growing up in Chicago Public Schools and seeing her art on our school wall.
That's great

Wow, thank you! She is a much underrated artist who deserves a greater prominence within the Impressionist group.
Even as a child I loved Mary Cassatt . So beautiful.

I'm sorry but this is incorrect. She was 13 years old in 1857 and living in Allegheny City, USA with her parents. She didn't didn't move to Paris until 1866. She had lived in France and Germany as a young child with her family. The painting 'La jeune fille à la mandoline' is dated 1876. She worked with Couture but much later than you suggest.

At a museum, actually near me, they had the first exhibition of Women Artists of 19c. Paris. 9 out of 10 were unknown. It was the largest attended in their history of shows. Each woman had a fascinating life because of their unique situations.
I think the tide is turning toward the new and unknown. I.e. Artemisia Gentileschi is being featured at your National Gallery. From that, Jane Fortune, who has passed found great paintings by Renaissance women hidden in coffers and church attics in Florence. So more and more are coming out of hiding. Thank God!
The tried and true are slowly being supplanted by even better artists.
In my humble, ha! opinion the Impressionists are so over rated because they painted quickly with bright colors so they were the “ happy” painters.
They did not paint atmosphere as did the Barbizon or The Hague or the Tonalists, etc. Their works are easy to grasp because they were easy to paint.
Also, if an artist is known for their individual style more than the objective of their subject, then it is in the realm of narcissism. Monet’s Water lilies are the perfect examples.
He painted them as globs instead of their incredible delicacy.. but we all know who painted them!
Bendor Grosvenor is another terrific art historian with a great series.
Thank you for this interesting discussion.
Yes it's good more female artists are getting the recognition they deserve. I can't agree with you regarding Impressionism and here's why. The Barbizon school, Millet et al, were part of the Realism movement that rebelled against the Romantics and as you say they painted objects to look as real as possible so it can be easier to understand the narrative. The Impressionists took a quite different view. Their paintings are based on perceptions and the effects light has on perceptions, not realism. If you look at a realist painting there is little left for the viewer to do other than admire the skill and techniques used to create the narrative. An impressionist painting requires the viewer to complete the painting by creating the details from the perceptions received in the painting. Take Monet's painting of the Poppy Field, the two figures - his wife and son - have no faces yet no one notices, because we fill the detail in. We take part in the creation of the image. It is the same idea that exists with a book, it is full of words which on their own are useless. But once the reader reads the text and creates the images in their mind from the author's words, the story is created. The better the author, the better the reader is able to create the images. The great authors suggest they don't tell, because this allows the reader more scope for their imagination. The same applies to Monet and the Impressionists, their paintings, by removing the detail, place us in a world of perceptions, feel the heat, the sunshine, the cold, the atmosphere. Open your mind and 'read' their paintings and see where it takes you. I would suggest that if you judge Impressionism using the same premise you judge the Realists, you are probably missing the point. Cheers
I am grateful for all the information that you share in these videos. It's really useful and profesional. Great job!
Thank you.
Such a joy to watch and thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Good Monday, Paul! Magnificent job covering Cassatt, a female artist ahead of her time, underappreciated during her life. I wouldn't have minded studying under her, though I still can, in the classical self-teaching tradition. I'm so glad enough of her work survived that we can appreciate and learn from it. Too bad about the mural. Keep up the great work, friend.
Many thanks
Thank you so much for your work ! This was very helpful to help me build my presentation about Mary Cassatt for university. I'll definitely watch more of your videos !
That's great, good luck with your presentation. Cheers
Thank you so much! I have learned a lot from your wonderful videos!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Thank you so much. This was wonderful. I especially liked the blue eyes and blue China and thought it very striking. I try to encourage the children to let go of detail ( it frustrates them into not wanting to create) which is such a shame. One is very detailed oriented and the other gets intimidated. But both create wonderfully just very differently and that is perfectly alright to do.
Glad you liked the video. All children go through a period of emphasising detail, unfortunately some never grow out of it, but most will.
Thank you that was brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Thanks I didn’t know of her and really enjoyed her lighting Laurie
Glad you enjoyed it
I knew of her and some of her work, but not in so much detail. Well done. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool - Do you have a video on Modigliani?
Very happy to find this playlist. I will follow it closely. Thanks for the content. I hope there will be hundreds of videos in this playlist. :)
There are quite a few, hundreds will take a year or two. Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool well, I hope you are not going anywhere because it is way too interesting to listen to these stories. :):)
Really love this. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Loved this. Yes, please add more female artists.
Check out my channel for more female artists
There is a wonderful portrait in the NCMA . I return to it regularly. It is of a wealthy lady dressed in black. I’ve tried to get people interested, but most don’t understand her subtlety. Very well made presentation. I subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing, she was a remarkable artist. Cheers
Again, magnificent. Thank you.
Thanks again!
Thank you for this lovely and informative video on Mary Cassatt. The Japanese influence is especially strong in those images of her prints.
To your ever expanding list of possible artist subjects for future videos could you please add Sarolla and Caillebotte.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll add your suggestions to my list. Cheers
Oh yes, I discovered some Sarollas a few years ago at an exhibition in the National Gallery 'Painting the Modern Garden'. I hadn't come across him before, and loved his brilliance in conveying the heat and luminescence of the Spanish sunshine. I too should love to know more!
I learned more about this artist.. thank you!
That's great. Cheers
So very well done. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you for such an interesting video. It's the first video I have seen of yours but definitely will not be the last,
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy my other videos too. Cheers
Saw a great exhibit of her decades ago. I think it was at the National Gallery in Washington D.C. but I might be wrong.
This is the first time you've shown up in my feed in a long time. I've missed your videos.
I have been producing videos, you can see the ones you've missed at ruclips.net/user/arthistoryschool Really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers
Wow what exquisite paintings she captures the children and anatomy so well, I had not heard of her before and nicely made channel, thank you.
She certainly was a great painter. Cheers
Brilliant.
