In 1879, Diego Martelli compared her to Degas, as they both sought to depict movement, light, and design in the most modern sense. Early life Cassatt was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, which is now part of Pittsburgh. She was born into an upper-middle-class family: Her father, Robert Simpson Cassat (later Cassatt), was a successful stockbroker and land speculator. The ancestral n ...
