Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) is often dismissed as a sentimental painter of mothers and children, but she was in fact a pioneering modernist. Her paintings, pastels and prints are characterized by constant experimentation and variation. The only American to join the French Impressionists, Cassatt first exhibited with the group in 1879 at the invitation of Degas and quickly became a key member of the movement. In addition to depicting women at the opera, visiting friends and drinking tea, Cassatt created many images of "women's work" - knitting and needlepoint, bathing children and nursing babies. These images suggest parallels between art-making and nursing work. The exhibition calls attention to the artist's own creative process - how she used brushes, etching needles, crayon sticks and even her fingertips to create radical works of art under the guise of "feminine" subjects.

Golden Gate Park

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing.

Fisherman's Wharf

Best Things to Do

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

San Francisco is close to the sea, and the Fisherman&#39;s Wharf here is very famous and has always been one of the most lively places in San Francisco. Today, it still retains traditional functions such as seafood markets and docks, and has added leisure and entertainment formats such as catering, entertainment, and shopping to meet tourists&#39; needs for food, drink, and entertainment.

The iconic sign of Fisherman&#39;s Wharf is near Pier 45, and the most lively place is Pier 39.

Lombard Street

Came on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and definitely one of the must-see attractions to visit San Francisco. Jiuqu Flower Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section is a steep slope, but it is designed to be eight hairpin bends, and the road is full of flowers. If you need to shoot the effect of Jiuqu, you must stand at the low position of Leavenworth Street. Chinese people can drive by themselves in the western United States where San Francisco is located. If you will drive in San Francisco, you may wish to experience the feeling of driving through Jiuquhua Street.

Golden Gate Bridge

Historic buildings

Night view

Came on September 24, 2017. The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known attraction in the United States. As long as you come to San Francisco, you have to come to the Golden Gate Bridge to punch in. Now China has more majestic bridges than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, take a photo of tourists &quot;to this tour&quot; near the Golden Gate Bridge. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go as early as possible, otherwise when the sunset is slanting, the photos are all backlit.

Legion of Honor
