EMILY MASON (American b. 1932) Born in New York in 1932, Emily Mason comes from a long line of distinguished artists. Her mother, Alice Trumbull Mason, was an influential participant in the early days of American abstraction and a descendant of the famous history painter John Trumbull. Upon graduation
The title of this exhibition of new work by Emily Mason, Opened Jars, might seem enigmatic at first. After all, what do paintings have to do with jars? In point of fact, the title is surprisingly revelatory, both of the artist’s own imaginative wit and of the unending delight she takes in making and sharing new discoveries in her art. There is a thrill of finding which fruit is in a jar of jam or what vegetable the pickling brine contains in a jar put aside in a season past. Encountering new work by Emily Mason holds a similar excitement of expectation: anticipation followed by captivating surprise when “the jar is opened” and new paintings are fully revealed.
With an upcoming spring show in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the famed American abstractionist celebrates color’s expressive potential

(For those of you who know I am at present in Budapest, I scheduled this post before I left) I am an avid collector of art books. Many are instructive but lots are about artists whose work I admire. One of those artists is Emily Mason. GROUND FOG - Emily Mason The above image is on p.78 and the cover of the book "Emily Mason - The Fifth Element" by David Ebony (managing Editor At Art In America Magazine) FENCES FLED AWAY (p. 68) Emily Mason was born in 1932 and is an American abstract painter known for her work in colour field painting and lyrical abstraction. This book showcases her career as an abstract painter active in New York City since the 1950s. Her most recent exhibitions have been at the David Findlay Jr Gallery, NEWYORK Her work incorporates elements of abstract expressionism, colour theory, references to the natural world, and personal intuition and instinct. No wonder I'm besotted with it. DEW DROP (p.76) I found her by accident while cruising the net, and immediately went to the Book Depository site (see link on right hand side bar) to look for anything about her. I choose to buy from the Book Depository because local bookshops do not have the range of books available, they are relatively inexpensive, AND they deliver to my door INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE FREE usually within ten days. Anyway, this book has become a fave and is the source of much inspiration for me. I often collect women artists because I admire their dedication to their work, often against all odds. Emily Mason's abstractions have underlying geometric structures, but the artist's work is driven, above all, by colour. Her abstractions are rich with areas of layered, saturated colour contrasted with delicate, translucent washes and glazes that resemble watercolour, with push and pull... EMBRACE (P.66) ...with monochromatic planes interrupted by fissures and crevasses of other colours... JUICE (p.67) ...expressive brushstrokes, scumbled, rubbed, scratched. Her masterful use of colour imbues her canvases with mysterious luminosity. GOLDEN RAIN (p 47) Overlapping and layered shapes in glowing yellows, brilliant reds, vivid oranges, rich blues, greens and deep purples shift and flow into each other. In case you want to find it, details for the book are Format: Hardback Number of pages: 128 Width: 229 mm Height: 254 mm Thickness: 19 mm Weight: 871 g Language English 97 illustrations (86 colour) ISBN 13: 9780977757152 ISBN 10: 0977757153 Included are a chronology of Mason's life and work and a list of illustrations. The book concludes with a selection of prints made by applying ink and a paste of silicon and carbon to glass plates; in these works Mason's ethereal colours reach new heights of intensity. The beautifully produced volume, the first comprehensive account of Mason's work, is a splendid tribute to an artist whose paintings deserve to be better known. If you love colour, you could go no further than Emily's wonderful, luminous creations for inspiration. I'm so glad I found her.
BRATTLEBORO — Renowned American painter Emily Mason died at her home in Brattleboro on Dec. 10. She was surrounded by family and friends, including her husband of 62 years, artist Wolf Kahn. …
December 17, 2023Sometimes, an artist’s life can obscure a full understanding of their work. This seems to have been the case for painter Emily Mason, who frequently exhibited her vividly hued abstractions alongside the more geometric work of her mother, Alice Trumbull Mason, a cofounder of the American Abstract Artists group, and the landscape paintings […]
ONE. I adore this cozy home. TWO. This designer’s portfolio is packed with charm and color. THREE. Sophisticated style in Gramercy Park. FOUR. The reason we’re all sticking small lamps in big vases–and a great Instagram follow. FIVE. Lots of color combination ideas in this home. SIX. Saturday shopping: Mix and match fall neutrals.
