A FEW DAYS AGO I ATTENDED AN UNUSUAL PLAY BY KATIE KETCHUM. SHE SUNG AND PLAYED PIANO AS SHE HAD PHOTOS AND SLIDES OF MARY CASSATT'S PAINTINGS. SHE TOLD HER LIFE STORY ABOUT THIS UNUSUAL AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTIC PAINTER. HER LIFE WAS INVOLVED IN FRANCE IN 1914 WHERE SHE RESTARTED HER LIFE AT AGE 70. SHE WAS INFLUENCED BY EDGAR DEGAS AND EXHIBITED HER PAINTINGS WITH HIM.
SHE WAS INFLUENCED BY JAPANESE PRINTS AND DEVELOPED NEW TECHNIQUES OF AQUATINT. SHE ATTAINED ARTISTIC AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS. HER FATHER NEVER APPROVED OF HER BEING AN ARTIST AND YET HER PAID FOR HER TRIP TO FRANCE AND HER EXPENSES. HER PARENTS MOVED THERE AS WELL TO BE NEAR HER.
