Poppies in a Field


My piece of art is Poppies In A Field by Mary Cassatt. Mary Cassatt's parents didn't want her to become an artist. She had to stop painting around 1914 because of near blindness. On Friday I'm going to find out why her parents didn't want her to be an artist. You would think that parents would want you to go for your dreams, and if they didn't they should have an extremely good reason.

  2. I also wonder if Mary Cassatt had a hard time being a woman in a male dominated form of expression? This is an excellent piece. I look forward to your analysis.
