About the Artwork
On a Balcony - Item # 2577140
During Mary Cassatt's early Impressionist period, she frequently focused on the activities of middle-class women in society - at the theater or taking tea, for example. At first glance, the arresting painting, On a Balcony, which was shown in the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, appears to depict a woman in a public setting. However, the blue rail of the balcony, visible near the top of the painting, defines the enclosed space of a private garden, while the woman's morning dress further indicates the intimacy of her location. Cassatt signaled the modernity of her subject through the woman's choice of reading material; she peruses a newspaper rather than a novel. Even at home Cassatt's subjects are connected to the contemporary world, not lost in a fictional fantasy.
About the Artist
Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt (1844 - 1926) was one of "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism, both a masterful painter and printmaker who used pastel colors in ways that few artists had dared before her. Much like her good friend and collaborator Edgar Degas, Cassatt’s paintings depict the intimate moments of women’s daily lives, and perhaps most famously, she had a remarkable gift for capturing the beauty in the smallest moments between a mother and child. Her art encapsulates the delicate minutia of such relationships, from the tender patience of one mother bathing her toddler, to the sweet affection of another kissing her infant goodnight. With her command of color and impressionistic genius, Cassatt’s images manage to convey women’s lives both authentically and graciously, highlighting the exquisite within the seemingly mundane.
