Icon analysis 3-2. The Three Mary’s an Icon Painter
For my icon analysis, I have Chosen Impressionist artist Mary Cassatt. The three icon pictures I have chosen are Breakfast in Bed one of the main reasons I choose this painting is because I love how it shows a woman and child in bed. Mary Cassatt loved her family and most of her paintings are of women and children. Mary Cassatt did not any children of her own and was never married.
The second icon picture I chose was, Motherhood II again, Mary Cassatt interpretation of the love between mother and child was clearly showned. You when you look upon the painting. It shows a loving embrace of motherhood. Mary Cassatt was a bit of a rebel. She was the only woman painter among a bunch of rebel men painters. Mary Cassatt was a close friend of Degas and painted with him in France.
The third icon I have chosen is Mother And Child AKA The Oval Mirro Mary again shows a mirror image of a mother’s loving embrace. This icon and the others show a love for the relationship between mother and child’s. Ms. Cassatt painted the most intimated mother and child paintings. She was known for them and was very popular in the early 18th century.
The icons that I have chosen mean to me a sense of a mothers embrace of her children. Nothing is more beautiful and more loving than that. I think, that in today’s society most of the people have lost that. You hear more and more of family’s torn down than being lifted up. I think that Mary Cassatt had a sense of family and how the demographics of an 18th century life were a lot less trouble than that of family’s today.
