MARY CASSATT'S FEMALE GAZE IN AN
IMPRESSIONISTIC WORLD OF MEN
The American painter brought a feminine gaze to the art of her time

and managed to be accepted by the Impressionists. France, the

country where he lived for sixty years, dedicates a major exhibition

to him in which he vindicates his work and figure.

La toilette (1891) is one of the famous subjects of its time, at the

height of the belle époque, as well known among the avant-garde

as the scenes of a mother with her children (such as the famous

one of 1789) by Vigée Le Brun was for generations of Frenchmen

who were educated in the Rococo, to love it or to detest it. It is the

work of Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), the American painter from

Pittsburgh who in 1866, at the age of 22, went to Paris to continue

her painting studies and where she ended up living for more than

sixty years.

Contemporary critics praise the accuracy of everyday scenes, and a

visit to the exhibition dedicated to her by the Musée Jacquemart-

André, the first retrospective since her death in 1926, warns us that

we are indeed facing a regard feminin, which denotes the way of

understanding the universe of women. especially the mother-son

relationship (although she never had them), one of the most

important themes in the work of this excellent painter, but also of

the intimate spaces that are not usually shown. The very titles of

Cassatt's canvases of everyday life express (in the words of curator

Nancy Mowll Mathews) a new style of symbolism.
