Answer: Wright describes how Cassatt left the Salon to paint with Degas' group.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary Cassatt had moved to Paris in 1866 to pursue her painting career. She met Edgar Degas and they became fond of each other with him influencing her work quite a bit.
Ms. Cassatt had been selling her artwork at the Salon and so did Edgar Degas. She however left the Salon and joined Dagas' group, the Impressionists so that she could improve her art even though they were an independent group and would not make as much as the Salon.
