The exhibition highlights the influence these two artis ts had on one another and their overarching impact on the Impressionist mo vement.\n\nThe Parisian art scene in the late 19th century was fueled by c hange. Artists were branching out from the stuffy and stifling Paris Salon and experimenting with new styles and methods of depicting modern life. M ary Cassatt (1844-1926) and Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)\, thrust together d ue to their involvement in the Impressionist circle in the 1870s and 1880s \, rose within the ranks to become two of the most important women artists of the period. For countless years they have served as an interesting com parison for art enthusiasts. Morisot proved a woman could have both a fami ly and a successful career and Cassatt held the belief a woman only needed her independence to be fulfilled.\n\nHistorians of Impressionism have lon g wondered how these two influenced each other’s artistic output. There is much overlap in the scenes and subjects the two depict\, as well as the ir equal ability to triumph within the male dominated Impressionist circle as two of the only four women associated with the group. At a time when w omen’s roles in Parisian society were changing\, Cassatt and Morisot wer e at the forefront\, painting the women of Paris at the turn of the centur y.\n\nMary Cassatt / Berthe Morisot: Allies in Impressionism is sponsored in part by The Clark Foundation\, Nellie and Robert Gipson\, NYCM Insuran ce\, and the Wyeth Foundation for American Art. The exhibition catalog is made possible through a generous gift from Denise Littlefield Sobel.\n\nAl so\, this summer\, The Power of Photography: 19th-20th Century Original Master Prints (May 24 – September 1\, 2025) featuring a selection of 12 0 iconic images by 120 different photographers\, which celebrate the photo graph’s unique capacity for relatability. Fenimore presents eleven exhib itions in 2025 alongside its world-renowned collections of fine art\, folk art\, and Native American art\, which includes The Thaw Collection of Am erican Indian Art.\n\nFenimore Art Museum\, nestled on the shore of pictur esque Otsego Lake\, offers visitors to the village of Cooperstown an oppor tunity to experience a wide variety of world-class art in an idyllic\, sma ll-town setting.
