About the Item

EMILY MASON Untitled, 1990 Oil on paper 29 x 23 inches 73.7 x 58.4 cm Signed and dated: "Emily Mason 1990 VT" (lower right recto) Formally, Emily Mason (1932-2019) is perhaps best known for her vibrant pigments and her intuitive grasp of color theory, as well as her unusual painting method that she mastered over the course of her career: using cat food tins, she mixed pigments and solvents to specific and varied consistencies, then poured them directly onto the canvas in a curious interplay with her painting’s other ‘pours.’ Crucial to the overall process was the time elapsed between these poured layers. Often, Mason would gesturally spread out the poured paint layer with a paintbrush or apply other physical treatments such as scraping, sanding, finger painting, or contact with an unconventional tool such as an old t-shirt. Each of Mason’s paintings represents a calculated series of interactions between each mixed paint tin’s distinct alchemy; perhaps a given paint mixture would yield a crackling effect, a glossy sheen, or an ‘oil and water’ dispersion.
