Mary Cassatt mentor (5)

I believe the answer is:

degas

(Other definitions for degas that I've seen before include "He produced works of art" , "Edgar --, French painter and sculptor" , "Edgar -, Fr. artist" , "French impressionist painter, d. 1917" , "French painter of ballet girls etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
