Mary Cassatt best demonstrates an American influence on Impressionism. She was an American artist who became involved with the Impressionist movement in France and was close friends with artists such as Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro. Cassatt's work reflects both the techniques and themes of Impressionism, showing a clear influence from her American upbringing.
