Mary Cassatt: The Impressionist Who Wouldn't Accept a No

Her father said no to art school. She enrolled anyway. Art school banned women from painting nudes. She left for Paris. Paris blocked her from the official academy. She taught herself at the Louvre. The first yes she ever got came from the Impressionists. Degas saw her work and invited her to show with them. She said she accepted with joy. That it was the first time she felt she had truly started living. 🎨 EcoArtLab — Frame TV & Printable Art Transform your space with museum-quality digital art #marycassatt #impressionism #womeninart #arthistory #femaleartists #parisartscene #degas #impressi
