Photograph by Gary Sexton. Image courtesy of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco opens Mary Cassatt at Work, a major loan exhibition focused on the great woman Impressionist. The exhibition presents Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) as a fiercely professional artist and an aesthetically radical painter, pastelist, and printmaker who helped shape the French Impressionist movement and transformed the course of modern art.

Juxtaposing paintings, pastels, and prints, Mary Cassatt at Work will explore the artist’s activity across media, revealing the daring, iterative methods she used to give form to her ideas. In addition to 93 objects on loan from institutions including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, ...
