Global InformationHattie Saussy information
Hattie Saussy (1890 – 1978) was a painter from Savannah, Georgia.[1][2] In her youth, she studied at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, where she learned about Impressionist art.[2] She later studied for a year at Mary Baldwin Seminary, the National Academy of Design Antique School, and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art.[2]
Saussy's work includes landscapes and portraiture. It can be found in several Southeastern museums such as the Columbus Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Telfair Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and the Spartanburg Art Museum.[1]
Throughout her life, Saussy comprised 38 original works of art that were selected from 19 private and institutional collections throughout the United States.[3]
Saussy distinguished herself as a great American painter by effortlessly fusing elements of impressionism into her realist compositions, formulating her own traditional, yet unique, painting aesthetic.[4]
Saussy painted portraits of her family and friends but is better known for her landscapes, where she would travel throughout the region to paint them outdoors.
