At the age of 22, she moved to Paris.  Women were not allowed into formal art schools, so she took private lessons.  After a return to the United States in 1870-71 in which she had initial success (paralleling the time of the Franco-Prussian War), she returned to Paris and spent most of the rest of her life in France.  She became an Impressionist, becoming a friend and colleague of Degas and acquainted with Renoir, Monet and Pissarro. Her most frequent images were of the lives of women, particularly illustrating the bonds between mother and child. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Note: These images are in color -- they render beautifully in optimized gray-scale tones for black-and-white e-book readers, but exhibit even more stunningly in full color with color readers such as Nook Color and inside apps for color-enabled computers and portable or hand-held devices.","brand":"Hackentosh Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079576109296,"sku":"2940013543737","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013543737_p0.jpg?v=1763582491","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013543737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
