Résumé :	Mary Cassatt's letters, like her paintings, are filled with revealing details. This selection of 208 letters - most never before published - provides new and vivid insights into this complex, intensely private woman. Her stubborn determination to become a professional artist, her affectionate, if sometimes exasperated, respect for Degas and the other Impressionists, her candid opinions on everything from art to politics to horseflesh - all are expressed in Cassatt's own distinctive voice. Complementing the text are more than fifty illustrations of the works and the people that appear throughout the letters. Nancy Mowll Mathew's illuminating introduction to each chapter puts the letters in context, and her informative notes identify the large cast of characters, which includes just about every member of the turn-of-the-century at world.
