Feminism has many different avatars. On one hand, you have the fiery Frida Kahlo, who openly rebelled against the patriarchy, and adopted bold measures like having an open marriage and painting graphic images of women. On the other hand, you have the relatively quieter American artist Mary Cassatt, who persistently fought against male dominance in her own style.

 

And this difference is not more evident in any place than in the art of these two incredibly talented women. We’ve already discussed Kahlo’s style previously and today, we’re going to look at Cassatt’s impressionist art that was just as effective in promoting the case for equal rights for the sexes.

 

Cassatt’s work is very distinct – they feature women in all spheres of life. Of course, most of them are from scenes she observed personally, but the beauty of her art is that generations later, women across the world can still relate to what she painted. Her work features women socializing, reading, playing cards, having tea and so on, but her most popular works are based on mothers.

 

And these aren’t pictures of firebrand mothers who fought a war – they’re images of mothers and children in everyday life, bathing, comforting, nursing and more. Children will find these very relatable, and they’ll love realizing that throughout time and in all lands, mothers and children have always shared a special bond. So once the kids have had an insight into the artist’s work, let them get more involved with these Mary Cassatt art projects for kids!
