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.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

A few hundred metres from San Francisco&#39;s pier, Alcatraz was once the hardest-core prison in the United States, and after the prison closed in the 1960s, Alcatraz was occupied by Native Americans for nineteen months, and the island&#39;s social hall was burned down. Alcatraz became the Golden Gate National Amusement Park, designated as a national historical landmark in 1986, including the burned social hall, which is 15 minutes by boat from San Francisco.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
