Cassatt: Reflections On Women's Lives
by Mancoff. D.
For readers who are looking for an instructive first glance or an introduction
to Mary Cassatt, this book is perfect. The medium-sized volume contains
a biography of Cassatt by art historian Debra Mancoff and also offers reproductions
that are surprisingly large and clear. These plates give readers as accurate
a view as is possible in a book of Cassatt's virtuoso brushwork, sure-handed
lines, and soft, deep aquatints.
Mancoff includes many of the artist's piquant remarks (as well as quotes
from her friends and acquaintances, who found Cassatt often charming, always
impressive, and sometimes "slashing" in her outspokenness). Upon seeing
Degas's work for the first time, Cassatt flattened her nose against the
window of the shop where they were shown, "to absorb all I could." When
Degas urged her to exhibit with the impressionists instead of in the stuffy,
official French salon, she "accepted with joy," she wrote. "I hated conventional
art. I began to live." Mancoff has a nice touch with details, and her book
should be just right for anyone who wants to learn more about this gifted
and ambitious artist. The long, enriched captions for the plates are like
the tape-recorded tours that accompany major exhibitions. They give the
reader enough historical and critical background to make the works of art
as meaningful as possible. --Peggy Moorman - Amazon.com
