Film: Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman
Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted.

After the film, join us for the discussion: “Following Mary Cassatt: Women Artists on the Cutting Edge.”

Women artists presented will include Gabriele Münter, partner of Wassily Kandinsky; Käthe Kollwitz, German expressionist known for wartime prints; Lee Krasner, spouse of Jackson Pollock; Helen Frankenthaler, early leader in abstract-expressionism; and finish with the feminist work of Dr. Rachel Epp Buller of Bethel College, Newton, Kansas.
