Abstract
In this paper, the influence of the Japanese Ukiyo-e style of the 18th century is very strong in the works of Mary Cassatt in the 1890s. In the images analyzed in this study, Cassatt relies heavily on the compositional and form-based approaches often-used by Japanese print artist. The strong line work and the flat plan application of form through the figure represented reveals an abstract style.

Abstract
The paper outlines the history of Lewis Carroll and Mary Cassatt, and provides a discussion on how to interpret their subject matter. The paper discusses how history portrays both artists and how their lives contributed to their artistic interpretations.

From the Paper
""The world of visual representation has been mined as a part of the new interpretive strategies created by Freudian, feminist, gender, and gay or queer studies scholars. Indeed, the very meaning of the word body has been significantly expanded during the last generation, and central to this has been the fascinating development of body studies in the visual arts (Brettell 131)." Though the body and it's interpretations have indeed been over-analyzed throughout the "modern" interpretations of art through sexuality and other gender and sex politics, it is a useful tool for art historians and historians alike to gain insight into the world of the..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how throughout the ages, art and painting have undergone frequent shifts in style, media, and intent, yet, throughout each of these changes, various reasons for painting have not fluctuated. The paper explains that one of these reasons to put art to canvas or paper is that of portraiture, the rendering of a figure or figures depicting a real person, a real model. This paper formally describes and closely analyzes two portraits from different eras and movements. Using the writer's own perceptions, judgments, and ideas, there are generalizations made which arise from the initial and specific detailed observations. The two portraits that are considered are Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez's "Juan de Pareja" from 1650 and Mary Cassatt's "Lady at the Tea Table" from 1885.

Abstract
A paper discussing Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt, along with some brief descriptions of selected works. Short biographies are given of both artists. The author mentions the style of each artists.

From the Paper
"From the late 1860s to the late 1880s a French art movement flourished. Derived from Monet's painting Impression, this worldwide movement was called Impressionism. Impressionists painted mainly of modern-day subjects in the open air. They used a lot of bright colored paints (little drawing) and aimed to capture the effects of light. Two great American artists of this time were Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt. Thomas Eakins was born on July 25, 1844 in Philadelphia. His father was a writer from which he inherited a lot of talent. He also learned to love the outdoors from his father and his childhood. He was very outgoing and did exceptionally well in school. Eakins especially loved science and math, which he enjoyed using later in his career."

Abstract
This paper provides three essays on art. The first discusses Mary Cassatt's painting "The Bath," including the variety of influences on her unique style. The second provides an account of the meaning behind Frank Lloyd Wright's use of line, color, space and other architectural elements in his design for Fallingwater. The third provides a discussion of the personal appeal for the author in Eugene Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People."

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt was a lone American among the French impressionists. Her influence from impressionism and her intimate familiarity with the techniques of Japanese prints led to her series of works featuring women in intimate or personal experiences. Of these paintings, "The Bath" is an oil on canvas that features a mother giving her female daughter a hand bath. This analysis will discuss the various styles employed in the work by Cassatt who Christopher labels a sponge..."

Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes two portraits from different eras and movements; Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez's "Juan de Pareja" from 1650 and Mary Cassatt's "Lady at the Tea Table" from 1885. The paper identifies how these artists have utilized the same factors of artificial symmetry and contrast and gaze of the subject in order to reach different goals.

From the Paper
"The first painting to be studied is Velazquez's Juan de Pareja. The first thing that is striking upon viewing this portrait is its two-dimensional composition. The figure, Pareja, is composed in the space asymmetrically. The man is aligned to the left side of the portrait, his head and body filling the space to the left of center. Yet, his chest/torso, cloak, and arm fill the right side of the space rather well. While Velazquez does not exhibit symmetry in his two-dimensional composition by doing this, he achieves what this writer feels is a rather nice effect. The proudly displayed chest and body of Pareja give a sense of regality and pride to the portrait."

Abstract
This paper begins by presenting the life history of Mary Cassatt, born in Pennsylvania and educated in Europe and the United States. It explores the beginnings of her painting career and the techniques which she employed in her work. The paper then focuses on Cassat's "Little Girl In A Blue Arm Chair" and provides a description of the painting.

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt influenced Impressionism. She also had an important role in sponsoring and in financial promotion of Impressionist art. She sometimes bought paintings of her friends when they were short of cash and with her connections to rich American families, she encouraged them to buy Impressionist art. Some of the collection is at the New York Metropolitan Museum."

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt is one of the less well-known of the Impressionist painters. Edgar Degas, her mentor, was one of the most important of the artists who participated in the Impressionist movement and who exhibited his paintings at Impressionist exhibitions. In many ways both were very different from other artists identifying themselves with this movement. Degas was one of the most helpful to other painters, including Cassatt, whom he also painted. The careers of these two painters are each somewhat out of the ordinary for the time and reflect different experiences, in part with differences based on gender.
There were four women classified as Impressionists--Berthe Morisot, Marie Bracquemond, Eva Gonzales, and Mary Cassatt. These four were very different artists, each of whom related to the artistic and political debates of her time in her own..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Claude Monet was the leader of Impressionism; his "Impression: Sunrise" painted in 1872 gave the term Impressionist to this group of painters who followed the style of Eduardo Manet. The author points out that Mary Cassatt, the only American and woman of the movement, painted scenes of people engaged in ordinary daily activities. The paper relates that the last true Impressionist Camille Pissarro inspired Post-Impressionist painters such as Matisse and Cezanne.

From the Paper
"Photography was invented in the 19th century. The Impressionist artists wished to bring a new element to art. They wished to show the artist's inner life. They believed that simply showing what existed 'in life' was not enough to justify the further existence of art. The Impressionist movement began in France, the heart of the art world of a late 19th and early 20th century Europe. "Impressionist painting comprises the work produced between about 1867 and 1886 by a group of artists who shared a set of related approaches and techniques. Characteristics of Impressionism were an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and color." "

Abstract
The paper examines Mary Cassatt's "The Caress" and highlights how the entire picture is that of familial bliss, relaxing happiness and the idea of coziness and tenderness. The paper contrasts this to Michelangelo's "Atlas' Slave", which offers a rough image of a slave holding on his shoulders the entire weight of the world. The paper further points out how Cassatt's painting is already well formed while Michelangelo's work is almost partly created by the viewer himself. The paper notes a similarity of the two works that is the unnatural position of both works' center characters. The paper concludes that while one work is a painting and the other one a sculpture, and there are 400 years separating the two artists, both works of art are still excellent examples of how one can use stone or oil to express human feelings and reactions.

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt is one of the representative Impressionists of late 19th century and beginning of the 20th century in the United States and "The Caress" reflects this in a distinct tendency to suggest rather than clearly state. This suggestive style can be noticed, for example, in the wavy lines that define the bodies of female figures and the baby. This brings out a certain delicacy that the painter surely wanted to pass on to the viewer. Since the title is "The Caress", Mary Cassatt wants to show an image consisting of tenderness and care: a mother holding her baby, with the daughter simply participating in this happy familial picture and supporting the idea of happiness in a familial framework."
