Mary Cassatt: American Impressionist DVD

NOMINATED FOR TWO DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS! Artist Mary Cassatt's tidy and peaceful independence in Paris is rattled when her brother's family arrives unexpectedly for a visit. With three unruly children around, Cassatt worries that her art will suffer.

Instead, she finds herself inspired and her work flourishes as the children become her models. Her marriage-minded teenage niece, Katherine, decides to have some fun playing cupid. A series of forged notes brings together her "old maid" aunt and the great painter Edgar Degas. Though romance is not meant to be, a lifelong friendship begins between the two artists.
