Special exhibit on artist Mary Cassatt opens at Honolulu Museum of Art
A special exhibition titled "Mary Cassatt at Work" has opened at the Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA), running from June 21 through October 12. The show features 35 works, including 22 on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, eight from HoMA's own collection, and five Japanese prints from the museum's holdings. Curator Alejandra Rojas Silva highlights Cassatt's deep connection to HoMA—founder Anna Rice Cooke owned a Cassatt print—and the artist's fascination with Japanese woodblocks, which influenced her printmaking. The exhibition traveled from the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, with artworks carefully shipped across the Pacific.
