Consider Mary Cassatt's Woman Bathing. In what style would you place this work? Describe the details of the work that point to a style, or to the absence of one.

What will be an ideal response?

Cassatt was an American ex-patriot artist who became a member of the Impressionist movement after Degas invited her to show with the group. However, Cassatt's work is not strictly Impressionist. As an American, she brought her own unique experiences to the European art movement. Woman Bathing has more in common with the Realist style, portraying an honest depiction of a humble daily ritual. The bold, simplified forms and broad areas of color, which reflected the influence of Japanese prints, also separate this work from the quicker rhythms of Impressionism.
