In 2026, not only are we celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of the USA, but also the 100th anniversary of the death of artist Mary Cassatt. Janet Mandel will discuss how Cassatt, the only American among the Impressionists, has secured her place as a celebrated American icon.

About the speaker: Janet Mandel retired after teaching for 32 years in the New Jersey public schools. She now presents illustrated lectures on art history at museums, adult schools, libraries, and senior centers.
