Spend Mother's Day With Mary Cassatt
Posted by Kelly
 Best known for her Impressionist paintings of adoring mothers and their children, Mary Cassatt is one of several artists whose works are currently on display at Adelson Galleries in New York City. The exhibition, "Prints and Drawings From the Collection Of Ambroise Vollard," features a number of lesser known Cassatt works that demonstrate a decidedly modern sensibility. Within the collection of etchings, aquatints and prepatory pencil drawings are works that exhibit a preference for painterly washes over precision and untypically bold color choices.
"The Barefooted Child" (1896-1897; drypoint and aquatint) is one of many works by Cassatt on view at the Adelson Galleries.
