Cassatt – McNicoll: Impressionists Between Worlds

September 1, 2023 @ 10:30 am11:59 pm

This groundbreaking exhibition brings together for the first time the work of two pioneering women Impressionist painters, Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926) and Helen McNicoll (Canadian, 1879-1915).  Renowned for their depictions of modern womanhood, their work had a profound impact on the development and proliferation of Impressionism in North America.

Drawing upon the AGO’s significant collection of McNicoll works, this original and eye-opening exhibition will be the first in Canadian history to centre Cassatt’s paintings and works on paper.  Educated in Philadelphia and Montreal, Cassatt and McNicoll both left North America for Europe in their early 20s to study and pursue art professionally. Cassatt was an original member of the Impressionist movement in Paris, and a generation later, McNicoll contributed to the movement’s evolution and spread around the globe.

Curated by Caroline Shields, Curator of European Art at the AGO, and showcasing more than 65 artworks including paintings, prints and sketch books, this innovative exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated publication.
