Consider Morisot's Summer's Day and Cassatt's The Boating Party. Discuss each artist's contribution to this art movement

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. Cassatt offered a woman's viewpoint of modern life and employed bold, simplified forms and broad areas of color, which reflected the influence of Japanese prints. Morisot was a founding member of the Impressionist group and, like Cassatt, depicted the social and private world of modern women. She took up open-air painting and began exhibiting successfully in official Salon, nine of which were in the first Impressionist exhibit. Morisot remained a dedicated member of the group for the rest of her life.
