1) Katherine Linn Sage, born in Albany, New York on June 25, 1898 to January 8, 1963 (aged 64), was an American Surrealist artist and poet active between 1936 and 1963.
2) As a child she drew & wrote as hobbies, but her first formal training in painting was at the Corcoran Art School in D.C. from 1919 to 1920. Afterwards, she studied art in Rome for several years.
3) This exposure to Surrealism inspired Sage to begin painting in earnest. She exhibited six of her new oils in the Salon des Surindependants show in the fall of 1938.
4) In addition to her autobiography, China Eggs, & four Surrealist one-act plays, she wrote several books of poetry, three in French, one in English & one in Italian. There's also many unpublished poems.
5) She almost never commented on what her paintings represented or how their seemingly ominous mood should be interpreted. One statement: '..showing of what's inside: things half mechanical, half alive.'
6) She had exhibits over the years, including Galleria del Milione in 1936, In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico & the U.S. in 2012, & many others.
