About this episode
My guest this week is Emily Beeny, the Curator in charge of European paintings for The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. She spoke with me about Mary Cassatt at work, an exhibition coming to The Legion of Honor after being displayed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Today, she is widely remembered for her somewhat sentimental paintings of mothers and daughters, but the exhibition shows us there was far more to the life and work of Mary Cassatt. We discussed her biography, her paintings and prints including The Coiffure , which is one of the works required for AP Art History.
