Mary Cassatt was the first American invited to exhibit with the Impressionists, marking a significant achievement for women artists in the 19th century.
Cassatt's work at the 1879 exhibit, including her bold painting Little Girl in a Blue Armchair, secured her recognition in the art world at a time when women faced numerous barriers.
Through her artistic journey, Cassatt demonstrated that women could achieve professional success in art, a notable departure from societal expectations of her time.
The exhibit at the Legion of Honor, titled Mary Cassatt at Work, showcases her rigorous approach to art, underscoring her commitment to serious artistic work.
