#CatThursday - #Cats in #Art (39) Mary Cassatt


Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite lolcat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s). It's all for the love of cats! Share the link to your post with your comment below.

Since Mother's Day is coming up in less than two weeks, I thought I would feature Mary Cassatt who was known for her mother and child scenes. Sometimes these scenes featured cats. Art scholars believe their presence in her paintings were to accentuate the idea of motherhood and domesticity...or perhaps she just liked cats. Enjoy!

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. I love them! Speaking of cats, your blog post started going crazy with the cursor bouncing all over. I thought you had some sort of virus and then I realized it was Patchouli kitty laying on a corner of keyboard!

  2. I love Mary Cassat. The Denver Art Museum has some of her work, and I always try to see them when I visit. Great selection today :)

  4. Not keen on oil paintings, some of these are not to my taste but oh my goodness, I love the drawing of Ellen holding the cat.
