'The Child's Bath' is one of Mary Cassatt's most widely beloved paintings, but the seemingly idyllic image is full of nuance.

I have chosen to do my creative post for the Historical Fiction Round Table event featuring Stephanie Cowell's newly released Claude and Camille on Mary Cassatt~the only recognized woman and American Impressionist. Mary was born in 1844 into a very wealthy family in Allegheny City Pennsylvania. She was one of seven children. Her parents were firm believers in education for both sons and daughters. They were very encouraging in broadening their children's horizons. They sent Mary as a pre-teen abroad to Europe visiting all the capital cities for five years. It was during this time that she began to pursue her talent as an artist. Her first exposure to the Impressionist was at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1855. Degas and Pissarro were exhibiting and would later become Mary's colleagues and mentors. Upon returning to the United States Mary enrolled at the age of fifteen in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Her parents objected to her becoming a professional artist. They were concerned about the bohemian lifestyle and feminist indoctrination. Mary was not impressed with the academic at the Academy and left it with no degree granted. She wanted to study real art with live models. She finally was able to convince her father and she, her mother and a few family friends left for Paris. She studied with Jean Leon Gerome, Charles Chaplin and Thomas Couture. Becoming a recognized and commissioned artist is a rough road at best. Mary was very frustrated. She had many admirers, but no sales. 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war Mary returned to the United States. Her father still adamantly objected to her chosen profession. He allowed her to live in the family home and paid for her living expenses, but would not allow her to spend one penny of his money on art supplies. She was so frustrated that in 1871 she wrote to her friend I have given up my studio & torn up my father's portrait... In 1872 Mary returned to France with hopes of self starting her career. What she found was that the art world was a man's world. Female artists were seen with contempt and publicly ridiculed. Mary was very outspoken regarding this giving the public more reason to dismiss her work. 1877 was the lowest point of her career. She was rejected and humiliated. It was during this time that the Impressionist Degas came to notice Mary's work and invited her to exhibit with the Impressionists at independent exhibitions that were gaining much attendant notoriety. Mary was always an admirer of Degas, Renoir, Monet and the others. She was so grateful to Degas, they became life long friends. This was the launching of her career. Mary would go onto receive countless awards and recognition. Her legacy includes: SS Mary Cassatt a World War II Liberty Ship launched in 1943, the all-female Cassatt Quartet formed at Julliard in honor of the painter in 1985, and US Postal Service stamp collections. Her paintings have sold for as much as $2.9 million. She died in 1926 at the age of 82 near Paris and is buried in the family vault in Le Mesnil-Théribus France. She was said to be the artist that captured the tender moment. Her art work was almost exclusively about real life scenes especially those of the mother and child. She often used her own mother, sisters, nieces and nephews as her models. She drew from observing those tender moments in life and transported them onto the canvas making them eternal. She is my favorite Impressionist. The following are some of her more recognized works:

Giclee fine art print reproduction from antique aquatint etching of a mother, child, and grandmother, titled "Feeding the Ducks", by Mary Cassatt, 1890. 4x5 or 5x7(cropped) or 8x10 or 11x14 or 16x20 or 18x24 paper size. ***1/4 inch white borders are used for prints 5 inches and larger unless requested otherwise -- this means the image will be set 1/4 inch within the exact paper size listed above. Smaller prints (3.5x5, 4x4, 4x5, 4x6) will be sent without borders unless requested otherwise. See the last paragraph of this description for more available border options.*** Printed with a professional Giclee printer on Somerset Velvet 100% cotton rag fine art paper with archival pigment inks. These are fine art prints, not cheap posters -- produced with the highest quality inks, thick matte paper, and Giclee (museum quality) printing method. The image scans used are high resolution and printed at full quality. Although custom requests are welcome, please note that the print sizes are listed to the largest possible size for each image. Processing time before shipment is 1-3 business days. Shipping is USPS First-Class with tracking, and orders over $35 in the United States ship free. Shipping upgrades available in cart. Prints may be shipped either flat or rolled, depending on size. Rolled prints are packaged around the outside of a tube and then bubble-wrapped and placed inside a long box -- this is because the thick fine art paper cannot be rolled tightly enough to go inside the tubes without causing damage to the paper. To flatten rolled prints, they can be laid out under a stack of heavy books. Please note that since these are vintage images, they do not always conform exactly to the standard paper sizes -- this means some images will have a slightly larger white border on two sides to allow the image to fit with no cropping (the paper size stays the same, but if an image is more narrow or short than the closest standard paper size, the borders will be slightly larger on two sides). If you would like a particular image size, no border, or a larger border (1/2 inch or 1 inch), please send a request and most adjustments can be accommodated at no extra charge. If you would like a 1 inch external border, that can be done for no extra charge and increases the paper size by 2 inches each way (for example, an 8x10 image with 1 inch external borders will be printed on 10x12 paper). Please note the external border (making the paper larger) is only available as 1 inch, while the internal border (making the image smaller) is available as 1/4, 1/2, or 1 inch.

Original 6 x 6 Oil Artist Linda Lawler left her career in journalism and publishing to pursue her life time interest in art. She developed her passion to become an artist from growing up in a family of artists and frequenting museums and art galleries. Linda got started in watercolors and acrylics and then moved on to oils taking art classes, workshops, painting (a lot) and reading art books. Her favorite impressionists are John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, Mary Cassatt and Claude Monet and is inspired by all the early California Impressionists. Linda enjoys plein air painting and studio painting. She loves nothing more than to go outdoors and take in the natural beauty God created and attempt to capture the scene before her and translate it on to the canvas. Her favorite places to paint are where her two homes are located: Newport Beach, California and the Sawtooth Valley in Idaho. She also enjoys capturing the people and places from missions trips she has taken to Zambia and Fiji.  Linda's paintings are in private collections across the country. Personal Statement To be able to paint is such an awesome privilege and blessing. I love the outdoors and what it does to ones soul. To take in the colors, the light, the shadows, the values, the fresh air, the sounds...the beauty almost makes me giddy at times. I say to myself, "I can't believe I'm doing this." I am humbled and thankful. My goal as an artist is quite simple yet challenging at times: to try to create paintings that glorify God's creation and share it with others. And then my hope is that my painting(s) will bring joy, peace or serenity within to those who look at what has been created. I believe enjoying art can be a soothing balm to our fast-paced, turbulent anxious world.
