Noted in *another thread recently, a fairly large number of new works by Mary Cassat were added recently at the ARC website, and the Cassatt Galery includes two works with "musical themes." Neither of these is a "new addition," but I don't think they were mentioned previously here. If you like her work, this gallery is up to 185 Mary Cassatt samples.

At Mary Cassatt, page 7 of 19

The Banjo Lesson, 1894, Pastel on paper, 28 x 22 1/2 inches (71.12 x 57.15 cm)
Number 8 of 10 on this page.

Girl with a Banjo, 1893 – 1894, Pastel on tan wove paper
Number 10 of 10 on this page.

Both of the Mary Cassatt "music" works are pastels, and a little less "finished" than some of her more formal works; but are nice pictures.

Banjo Lesson, large image is about 1.2 MB .jpg (about 11 x 14 inch at 72 dpi).

Girl With Banjo only offers an 88 KB file, a bit small by ARC standards (about 7 x 9 inch at 72 dpi).

A side note for someone to research, if interested:

The November 1965 cover of Sing Out! magazine has a photo of a crowd scene from the Newport festival, with insets of a few performers down the left side. I have a rather small image that I obviously got from the web, but I have lost my notes on where it came from. The image I have appears to have been scanned, lop-sided and at low resolution from a stained and dirty copy of the magazine, and couldn't be reasonably printed at useful size for a wall hanging; but if someone's looking for the combination of music and nostalgia, it's out there somewhere. A full-size print, or an original cover, might make a very nice wall decoration in an appropriate setting.

* For the record, the other thread is: BS: Web Art Update. The recent update, including Mary Cassatt and a couple of other recent additions at ARC is within the thread at 27 Feb 06 - 06:50 AM
