Imens i livet hos Mary Cassatt

Hele livet

autumn 1879 – winter 1880
Printmaking in Degas’s studio
Degas introduces Mary to etching: he owns a small printing press, and by day she works in his studio with his tools and press while in the evening she makes studies for the next day’s plate. It is when the two work most closely together, on a planned journal of prints.
1880
Degas withdraws from the prints journal
Degas abruptly withdraws from their planned prints journal and the project folds; Mary, who had worked hard on “In the Opera Box” in an edition of fifty impressions, is piqued. Her warm feelings for Degas last all her life, but she never again works with him so closely.
1880–1881
The Impressionist exhibitions of 1880 and 1881
Mary takes part in the next two Impressionist exhibitions and remains an active member of the circle until 1886. The only American officially associated with the group, she would go on to exhibit in half of its later shows.
1882
Death of her sister Lydia
Mary gives up painting to nurse her mother and her sister Lydia, who fell ill after the move to Paris in 1877. In 1882 Lydia dies, while her mother recovers.
1883
Adviser to the Havemeyer family
Mary’s friend Louisine Elder marries Harry Havemeyer, and with Mary as adviser the couple begin collecting the Impressionists on a grand scale. Much of their vast collection is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
