Talk:Mary Cassatt

"and later exhibited among the Impressionists" sounds as if she did not belong to the movement.

Make sure that the wording is used in such a way as not to diminish her accomplishments.

links to National Museum of Women in the Arts

There have been repeated additions and removals of a link to the Mary Cassatt page at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The museum's page seems to be useful additional background, but I'm not going to restore the link given the volatility of the page. Could someone who knows the work of this artist better than I do please assess whether the link (and links from articles on other women artists to their pages on the National Museum of Women in the Arts web site) are appropriate or not?

Edgar Degas

I heard in a lecture that she met him in 1876, so maybe that 1874 date should be confirmed. Schnozzinkobenstein 09:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC).

Google day ?

Just a note to expect heavy traffic as her birthday is today's Google logo. David Ruben ^Talk 00:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Should it be temporarily semi-protected? There's been a lot of unwanted edits already. peterl (talk) 01:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree, can any administrator protect this article for awhile? It have been vandalized for so many times. --98.154.26.247 (talk) 06:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

# Redirect & Early life title

there was a code bug I removed it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.124.30.83 (talk) 05:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No, the bug is still there, and Early Life title still isn't showing properly. Can anyone fix this apparent problem? (I don't really know what caused this) --98.154.26.247 (talk) 06:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

File:Under the horse chestnut tree2.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Under the horse chestnut tree2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 8, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-03-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Under the Horse Chestnut Tree (1898), a drypoint and aquatint print by Mary Cassatt, an American painter and printmaker who lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children, on which her reputation is largely based. In recognition of her contributions to the arts, France awarded her the Légion d'honneur in 1904, but she never had as much success in her homeland, having been overshadowed by her brother, railroad magnate Alexander Cassatt.Restoration: Lise Broer

Sucks loads and loads IMHO. There's a very nice Google Art Project version from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Terra Foundation has a nice example as well. Why do we have to put up with this dark and murky Library of Congress photoshopped version? Coat of Many Colours (talk) 13:25, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

I can add that despite the vey large 57 MB TIFF source file, the resolution is not a patch on the Google Art Project 4 MB file. Compare the highlights in the mother's hair for example. In the circumstances I feel justified in substituting the Google Art Project file. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:39, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Relationship wiht Edar Degas

An editor is persisting in transferring material concerning Cassatt's rerlationship with Edgar Degas from Little Girl in a Blue Armchair to this article. I have already spent significant time explaining the rationale of these edits on the Talk page there. Cassatt's relationship with Degas was but an episode of her life, adequately covered here. A discussion of her relationship with Degas properly exists elsewhere, but not here.

I have no idea why this editor is persisting so. I can see no evidence of this editor otherwise contributing to the Visual Arts. I ask her to cease her wholly unwelcome intrusions and I apologise to the editors here where I have only made minor edits in the past. I hardly know what else to do faced with this. I am so very sorry. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 01:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
