EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Mary Cassatt immersed in the beauty of the Louvre's Etruscan Gallery. Created by Edgar Degas, this soft ground etching captures a moment frozen in time during the years 1879-80. The delicate strokes and intricate details showcase Degas' mastery as an artist. Mary Cassatt, a renowned painter herself, stands elegantly before a vitrine filled with ancient artifacts. As one of the few female artists of her time, she defied societal norms and made her mark in the male-dominated art world. Her presence here symbolizes not only her passion for art but also represents women breaking barriers and making their voices heard. Surrounded by sculptures from antiquity, Cassatt indulges in her pastime of viewing art history come alive before her eyes. The combination of etching techniques such as drypoint and aquatint adds depth to the artwork while pastel accents bring subtle hints of color to life on paper. This image transports us back to a time when society's elite would gather at prestigious galleries like the Louvre to appreciate fine art. It reminds us that even today, art continues to captivate viewers across generations. Displayed within The Art Institute of Chicago's Albert Roullier Memorial Collection, this print serves as a testament to both Degas' talent and Cassatt's contribution to the impressionist movement. It is truly an exquisite piece that celebrates artistic expression and invites viewers into a world where elegance meets creativity.
