Led by Dr. Batia Cohen, this program focuses on Mary Cassatt, the American artist who became a central figure in the French Impressionist movement. Known for her tender portrayals of mothers and children, Cassatt defied societal expectations and carved her own path in a male-dominated art world. Participants will discover how her work blended intimacy with innovation. 

This program is part of the series Women in Art with Dr. Batia Cohen.  For centuries, women have been relegated to a footnote or a simple phrase in the history of art. Usually, their art is valued at a lesser price than their male contemporaries. It is time to give them their rightful place and importance! Artemisia Gentileschi and the Baroque, Gabriele Münter and the Theory of Color, Helen Frankenthaler and the abstract expression, Marisol and Pop Art in New York, and Yayoi Kusama and her therapeutic art.
