A very interesting story of artists Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Manet, and their contemporaries.

We recently moved from California to Kalamazoo Michigan and culled books from our library we read but treasured. On a cross country move you have to decide what you really need so not only books but many belongings stayed behind. We went from 6 bookcases to 3 and kept books either my husband or I have not read, and we did keep some books that are treasured, and those of favorite authors that will be reread..or not.

CatMS Just read Litsy is associated with LibraryThing. I purchased LibraryThing years ago to catalogue our books and it is a great way know what is on your shelves. However since I have eliminated a number of books during the move I really need to redo my LibraryThing catalog…..one of these days 😆📖📚📕 12mo

I have been coming home with arm-loads of books from our wonderful library in Kalamazoo, however decided if I don't start reading books from our own library they may never get read. I chose the book "The Art Forger" which has been on our shelves, seems like forever, finally getting around to reading it. So far I am liking the book very much. Will let you know if I change my mind by the end of the book.??

Finished and liked it.

I have a friend who organizes a Book Club for artists. This was their last selection. Although I missed the Author‘s Zoom with the group, I am happy that I read this book. I learned of the 40 year close friendship between Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. I was enthralled with the Impressionists(Mary was the only American)and Belle Epoque Paris. It made these revered artists human, including their struggles, personal lives and passion. #strongwoman

IndoorDame What a cool idea for a book club! 1y
DivineDiana @IndoorDame I agree! My reading schedule is so overbooked, but whenever I see my friend‘s post, I can‘t resist to try and fit it in! One day, I‘ll make the actual meeting! 🤞🏻 1y

batsy Sounds fascinating. And I love the portrait. Something tender and warm about it. 1y
DivineDiana @batsy It is! Agree about the painting. Their relationship was complicated but there was genuine respect for each other. Edgar Degas told Mary, “You must always paint love”. (edited) 1y
batsy @DivineDiana That's lovely! ❤️ 1y
Librarybelle I‘ve been meaning to read this one! Stacking to remember to do it sooner rather than later 1y
DivineDiana @Librarybelle And there are the Pennsylvania connections! ❤️ 1y

Picked up two holds at the Library today, and realized how similar the titles are!

DivineDiana @theludicreader I am happy to know that! It came strongly recommended by a librarian coworker. ❤️ 1y

I really enjoyed this historical fiction about the relationship between Mary Cassat and Edgar Degas. The Belle Époque is such a fascinating time period in art history and it was fun to be a fly on the wall amongst Cassat, Degas and their Impressionist contemporaries as they broke away from the rigid strictures of the Paris Salon.

BkClubCare Stacked! I have a soft spot for Cassatt and I really don‘t know anything about her. 1y
Ncostell @BkClubCare Happy reading! I felt the same way as I have always loved Cassat‘s artwork but did not know much about her life. 1y
kspenmoll Stacking this too! 1y
Ncostell @kspenmoll Hope you enjoy it too! 1y
