Original lithographic poster with artwork by Mary Cassat for exhibition at the Centre Culturel Américan in Paris 1960. Printed by Mourlot.

Mary Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker known for her significant contributions to the Impressionist movement, particularly for her depictions of the intimate and everyday lives of women and children.

In Paris, Cassatt became acquainted with Edgar Degas, who invited her to exhibit with the Impressionists, a group of avant-garde artists challenging the academic conventions of their time. Cassatt's association with the Impressionists strongly influenced her work, particularly in her use of light, color, and loose brushwork. Cassatt's subjects often revolved around domestic scenes, portraying women and children engaged in everyday activities such as bathing, reading, or playing. Her paintings are characterized by their tender portrayals and attention to the nuances of human relationships.

Cassatt was drawn to the unique aesthetic of Japanese art, which had a significant impact on her own artistic style and subject matter. She admired the simplicity and elegance of Japanese design, as well as the focus on everyday life and intimate moments.

The poster is framed with a hand painted taupe frame, very light sand-colored passepartout, and a white background.
