Mary Cassatt best demonstrates an American influence on Impressionism. Cassatt was an American artist who was closely associated with the Impressionist movement in France. She learned from and worked alongside Impressionist artists such as Edgar Degas and exhibited her work in Impressionist exhibitions. Her work often featured ordinary domestic scenes and portraits of women and children, reflecting her unique perspective as an American artist within the Impressionist movement.
