Mary Cassat
These pictures might look generic to you, but at one time, they were revolutionary, even rebellious. Mary Cassat was a painter when it was considered improper. There were very strict rules for painting: everything had to be painted realistically, and only classical subjects, such as mythology or Bible stories, were considered worthy of any consideration. Instead. Mary chose to use loose brush strokes and paint ordinary people doing ordinary things. You don't always need to run away or dress goth to be rebellious (though these things aren't always bad.) Sometimes you just have to look at the world a little differently.
