Through centuries of women's fight for empowerment one particular role has always shone. Take a look how Mary Cassatt captures the strenght and beauty of women in "The Story Behind : Mary Cassatt".
Today, women excel a leaders, scientists, and creators but it wasn’t always this way
especially in the 19th and beginning of the 20th century and it is at the very period that American artist Mary Cassatt defied strict societal norms by devoting herself to painting and joining the rebellious Impressionist movement.
In her art however she focused on women and especially mothers, portraying them as powerful and vital figures. Those can be seen in our work from 1909 where with skillful brushstrokes, pastel colors and light she depicts the bond between mother and child. She accentuates the strong, supportive arm and loving gaze. It is a celebration of motherhood And though women thrive in various roles today Mary Cassatt captured maybe the most empowered one of all… That of a mother.
