Succeeds in being a gorgeous book full of full page nicely done color reproductions including much of her lesser known work and photos and ephemera from her life. But doesn't stop there, with essays by different writers on her life in the art world, relationships. with other artists (juicy art gossip alert,) and more. Unless you are as student of Cassatt I think you will come away amazed at what you learn. Once the token female impressionist this book proves her work and life make the fellows look downright pedestrian.
This huge tome was released in conjunction with the Art Institute of Chicago's exhibit in 1998.
