why does mary stevenson cassatt's race, gender, and nationality affect how her work is looked at?

Question

i mean how mary stevenson cassatt art work is interpreted and appreciated by everyone during her lifetime.

Answer 1

Another homework question? People, not critics, do not give a rat's behind about the artist; they are concerned only by their superficial reaction to the artwork. Pretty is a common description, maybe even, nice subjects. Critics on the other hand might dismiss her work based on gender. At least, they would not rate her as they would male artists.
