To watch ➬ mosey on over here ➬ : https://youtu.be/3H3ittr_RNYWe present a very special bonus interview with Emily A. Beeny, Chief Curator at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco about the Mary Cassatt At Work exhibition.Since her day, Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) has been known for her paintings of bébés and upper class women but there’s another layer - a radical one - that has been overlooked until now.Join us as we discuss how this new exhibition explores the idea of labor surrounding Cassatt’s studio practice as well as her radical subject matter: the bébés being cared for by, more often than not, nannies, nurse-maids, governesses etc. Our conversation with Emily revolves around Cassatt's “A Goodnight Hug” a pastel from 1880.Topics include the artist as laborer, shedding light on domestic work, her and Cassatt’s involvement in women’s suffrage in the US.The exhibition closes January 26th, 2025 - don’t miss it!!You can learn more about the exhibition here:https://www.famsf.org/exhibitions/mary-cassattMUSIC: HoliznaCC0 - “First Snow” https://holiznacc0.bandcamp.com/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
