Drawing
When asked by Mrs. Horace Havemeyer, an American collector, why he so often portrayed dancers, Degas replied “Because I find there, Madame, the combined movements of the Greeks.”
This pastel was produced late in the artist’s life when his eyesight had begun to fail. It is possible that his diminished vision resulted in the heavy contours that surround the dancers and give only the barest suggestion of their facial features. Rather than attempting great detail, he concentrated on mapping out the unpredictable effects of theatrical lighting on the forms of the figures.

Drawing
Mary Cassatt was an American artist who lived in France for much of her life, after having moved there at the age of 21 in order to study painting. Artist Edgar Degas admired Cassatt’s art and encouraged her to join the circle of painters that included Pierre Renoir and Claude Monet, the group that became known as the Impressionists. She first exhibited with them in 1879, when she was 35, and continued to be associated with them for the rest of her life. Cassatt was the only American woman in the group.
While Cassatt’s subjects were typically women and children, she herself lived an atypical life for a woman in that period. Cassatt was a strong supporter of women’s suffrage; this painting and others were exhibited in a 1915 exhibition at Knoedler’s that was organized by Cassatt’s good friend and staunch supporter, suffragist and art connoisseur Louisine Havemeyer.

This beautiful image was created by Georgia O’Keeffe soon after her return to New York City from Texas at the invitation of art dealer and photographer Alfred Stieglitz, whom she would marry several years later. It is from the very earliest part of her career, the first decade in which she seriously identified as an artist.
Its remarkably light-filled palette contrasts with the Gallery’s 1931 painting by O’Keeffe, Jawbone and Fungus.
The Memorial Art Gallery is deeply grateful to Anne Whitman, whose commitment to the Rochester community motivated her to leave this treasure from her collection to an institution that would share it with visitors for many generations to come.
