Cassatt commanded and manipulated strains of old master and contemporary painting to express her female subjectivity through a brilliantly modern oeuvre on par with those of the most revered Impressionists. However, mishandled by the Parisian art establishment during her lifetime, and later by art historians and curators, she became known almost exclusively as a sentimentalizing painter of mothers and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did this happen to the most aspiring, revolutionary female artist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? In \u003ci\u003eCassatt Reconsidered\u003c\/i\u003e, author Mary G. Morton probes this central question and more, demonstrating how Cassatt disturbed conventional ideals of femininity, childhood, and maternity, an uncompromising feat for which she paid dearly during her lifetime and in the annals of art historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVibrantly illustrated with more than 100 images, \u003ci\u003eCassatt Reconsidered\u003c\/i\u003e rewards readers with a fuller understanding of an artist who stands apart for daring to express, on her own terms, the unique, intimate experiences of modern women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary G.
