The official exhibition catalogue of Mary Cassatt at Work explores the centrality of work to both her inventive technical practice and her distinctive approach to modern subjects.

Highlighting Cassatt’s attention to women’s roles in the making of modern life, this study connects her recurring subjects and rigorous techniques to her own understanding of her status as a professional artist. Cassatt most identified with the intense efforts in her processes of pastel drawing, intaglio printmaking, and oil painting, which resulted in an ever-evolving style that left the labors of art-making visible. Hardcover, 280 pages.
