Art Matters Lecture with Hollis Clayson, Ph.D.
Professor Emerita of Art History and Bergen Evans Professor Emerita in the Humanities, Northwestern University.
Owing to her American passport, identity as an upper-class woman, family money, and her identification with the Impressionist group in Paris, Cassatt’s choice of subjects, and the style of both her painting and intaglio printmaking were singular. The lecture will focus on the radical monstrosity of her so-called “mother and child” pictures, and the technical virtuosity and indirection of her intaglio prints. It’s high time we acknowledged the inventiveness of her work.
