Mary Cassatt's Colors

Описание: The way that Mary Cassatt uses color in her painting, The Boating Party, is wonderful. She uses color to add to the sense of harmony and tension within the work. There are areas that really join together nicely, with a great, harmonious space, as well as colors that stand out, cause a bit of tension, cause a note of differentiation, cause us to shift in our feeling of how we're relating to the work.

In the work, she tends to use areas of large, somewhat simple colors, not completely flat, but somewhat flat. We can see how the work of artists like Hiroshige has influenced Cassatt, and in fact influenced a lot of her contemporaries like Monet, Van Gogh, Whistler, and other artists at the time.
