Mary Cassatt and Me 1976

Miriam Schapiro’s 1976 mixed-media artwork, *Mary Cassatt and Me*, incorporates a reproduction of a painting by the Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. The central image shows a woman washing the feet of a young girl in a domestic setting. Schapiro’s inclusion of this image as a central element in her work highlights her own interest in the themes of domesticity and femininity, which she explored extensively in her art. *Mary Cassatt and Me* showcases Schapiro’s signature use of collage and assemblage, which she employed to create complex and layered compositions.
