Great Art Wednesdays bring Mary Cassatt to the screen

A PAINTING BY Mary Cassatt

Town Hall Theater in Middlebury will host a Great Art Wednesday screening of “Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman” on Wednesday, March 29, at 11 a.m. 

Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. 

Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted. 

She printed, sketched and painted dozens of images of mothers and children yet she never married or had children herself. She was a classically trained artist but chose to join a group of Parisian radicals — the Impressionists — a movement that transformed the language of art. 

Tickets for Wednesday’s screening are $15 and available at townhalltheater.org.
