Mary Cassatt at Work
Philadelphia Museum of Art
June 6, 2024 – Bus departs at 8:45 am
Join the Reading Public Museum as we travel to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to view the special exhibition Mary Cassatt at Work.
Mary Cassatt, hailing from Pennsylvania, defied the conventional norms expected by Philadelphia's elite. While she gained recognition during her lifetime for her intimate portrayals of women and children, Cassatt's deeper exploration of gender and labor realities remains underappreciated. Her depiction of traditionally feminine activities such as embroidery, reading, or social appearances reveals her serious engagement with these themes. "Mary Cassatt at Work" will showcase over 130 diverse works that trace the artist's evolving practice and highlight her dedication to the profound aspects of art making. The exhibition will unveil new insights into Cassatt's choice of materials and innovative processes, which were ahead of her time. This coincides with a detailed technical study of the significant Cassatt holdings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Following our tour, we will enjoy a casual lunch at the nearby Jack’s Firehouse: Restaurant Bar, & Grill before returning to the PMA to view the rest of the museum at your leisure.
TICKETS: Members $180; Non Members $200
