About the Item

MAVIS PUSEY (1928-2019) Dissolution of X, c. 1970 Color screen print on paper 28 ¾ x 22 ½ inches (image) Signed, titled, and editioned in pencil at lower margin From an edition of 30 African-American artist Mavis Pusey was born in 1928 in Jamaica, West Indies. Pusey began her studies in the Arts Students League in New York. Originally studying fashion she switched her interest to printmaking, studying with Will Barnet at the League. Further studies took her to London, where she worked at the Birgit Schold Workshop, then back to New York and finally to Virginia, where she received her B.A. at Mary Baldwin College. Between 1969 and 1972 she worked at the Robert Blackburn Workshop and later at the New School for Social Research in New York. She exhibited with Louis Soulanges in Paris, Curwen Gallery in London and AAA in New York. Her art has been exhibited internationally in galleries, collections, and in solo and group exhibitions. She has taught at various educational institutions, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; Drew University, New Jersey, and the New School for Social Research, New York, among others. She was affiliated with the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors in New York; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; and the Visual Artists and Galleries Association to name a few. Pusey writes, "Tempo and movement hold onto a color and texture to convey the tension that is the heartbeat of the city. As an abstract-geometric artist, I have always been inspired by my environment. I see realistic shapes before I transform them into abstract forms."
