- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Hattie Saussy. For much of the twentieth century, Hattie Saussy was closely associated with the art community of Savannah, whose fledgling art organizations she supported and led. She also studied and traveled extensively outside the region as a young adult, seeking to perfect her impressionistic style of painting. Throughout her life, Saussy faced formidable obstacles--including blindness in one eye from a childhood accident, the outbreak of World War I (1917-18) while residing in Europe, and a broken hip in her senior years--but none seriously hindered her career or dampened her ambitions.
