Artist Biography: Painter and printmaker. Attended Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 1861-1865. Worked briefly with Charles Joshua Chaplin in Paris but preferred to study and copy old masters independently. After a brief return to the US, travelled to Italy. Spent 8 months at Parma studying Correggio. Exhibited for the first of five successive years at the Paris Salon in 1872. Became member of the Impressionist group in 1877, and exhibited with them 1879-1881 and 1886. ~~Cassatt greatly admired Gustave Courbet, but was particularly allied with the Impressionists. Edgar Degas was her close friend and influenced her style in the late 1870s. ~~Soon after 1900, Cassatt's eyesight began to fail and by 1914 she was no longer working.~~Reference: Breeskin, Adelyn Dohme.Mary Cassatt: A Catalogue RaisonnÈ of the Graphic Work . 2nd ed. rev.
