PARISIAN ENCOUNTERS:

Edgar Degas & Mary Cassatt


1877 1877

On an autumn afternoon in 1877, Edgar Degas first met Mary Cassatt at her studio on Boulevard Clichy, near Place Pigalle.
 

 

Above all else they admired each other as artists. Mary Cassatt, even before meeting Degas, praised his work to her friends. Through her introduction, Degas's work found its way into important American collections.
