If you'll carefully reread the mentio...Bryan--<br /><br />If you'll carefully reread the mention of Mary Cassatt I said: <br /><br />It's not too unusual, when studying the art and artists of the world, both now and then, to find some who have become icons of a given nation's art who were, in fact, born elsewhere. Pablo Picasso is a good example, born in Spain, living and working most of his life in France. Vincent van Gogh was Dutch but, like Picasso, mostly associated with French art. The same could be said of El Greco (a Greek painting in Spain), Mary Cassatt, and any number of European painters who fled Europe before and during WW II for the United States where they remained the rest of their lives." The mention of Mary Cassatt does not indicate she was European. Had I intended to include her as being European I would have said "...Mary Cassatt and other European painters..." I was assuming ( correctly it would seem) that most people, including yourself, would know she was American, which was the point I was making in the first place. Add to that the fact that Mary Cassatt was of a different generation than the European painters mentioned in the latter part of the sentence, which came to the U.S. before or during WW II.<br /><br />Thanks for following my posts.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-6099384424177303962016-03-30T19:19:27.977-04:002016-03-30T19:19:27.977-04:00Mary Cassatt was from Pennsylvania and went to PA ...Mary Cassatt was from Pennsylvania and went to PA Academy of Fine Arts.
