Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman

Also known as Exhibition on Screen: Mary Cassatt - Painting the Modern Woman, EOS: Mary Cassatt - Painting the Modern Woman, Mary Cassatt, Malerin des Impressionismus

Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted.
