Mary Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American painter and print-maker. She was born in Pennsylvania, but lived much of her artistic life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.

Additional quotes by Mary Cassatt

O how wild I am to get to work, my fingers farely itch & my eyes water to see a fine picture again.

If you [Vollard] should ever happen to find that picture ['Milliners's workshop'] by Edgar Degas ] I know an American who will pay any price for it.
