Today, I'll be looking at Mary Cassatt's "The Boating Party." This large painting represents a big break in style for Cassatt. She was one of the few American Impressionists in Paris as well as one of the few American women working as professional artists. She's best known for her intimate domestic scenes of mothers and children but we'll find out how an exhibit of Japanese prints and summers on the Mediterranean influenced her to try new techniques and move beyond Impressionism.
