About Kathryn Cherry
Cherry began her studies at the St. Louis Art School under *Richard Emil Miller; she continued at the *Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under *Hugh Breckenridge, thus she began in an impressionist framework. Cherry was a member of the St. Louis Art Guild, the Rockport Art Association, and the North Shore Arts Association. Her works have been exhibited at the annual shows of the St. Louis Art League (1919), the St. Louis Art Guild (1919-22), the Kansas City Art Institute (1922) and the Pennsylvania Academy (1921-30). Cherry was a member of the Eight Philadelphia Women, a group that organized exhibitions between 1923 and 1927 (Talbott and Sydney, 1998, p. 145). Not long ago (1997), her Gloucester Harbor was included in the North Shore Arts Association’s Seventy-fifth Anniversary Exhibition. Cherry used a fully loaded brush and applied somewhat uniform brushstrokes. Her palette was bright and cheerful and her use of *broken color and *blue and purple shadows places her in the American impressionists’ circle.
