Michael Mazur
"The Artist"
Hand signed and editioned from the edition of 50
1967
Michael Burton Mazur (1935-August 18, 2009) was an American artist who was described by William Grimes of The New York Times as "a restlessly inventive printmaker, painter, and sculptor."
Born and raised in New York City, Mazur attended the Horace Mann School. He received a bachelor's degree from Amherst College in 1958, then studied art at Yale.
Mazur first gained notice for his series of lithographs and etchings of inmates in a mental asylum, which resulted in two publications, "Closed Ward" and "Locked Ward." Over the years, he worked in printmaking and painting. His series of large-scale prints for Dante's Inferno won critical acclaim, and were the subject of a traveling exhibition organized by the University of Iowa in 1994. Later he concentrated on creating large, lyrical paintings which make use of his free, gestural brushwork and a varied palette. Some of these paintings were seen in an exhibition of 2002 at Boston University, "Looking East: Brice Marden, Michael Mazur, and Pat Steir." (See also Susan Danly, "Branching: The Art of Michael Mazur," 1997).
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has acquired a definMichael Mazur received a B.A. from Amherst College in 1957, studying in his senior year at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. He went on to earn both a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1961. Mazur's first teaching job was at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1961 to 1964. He was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship for 1964–65. From 1965 to 1976, he taught at Brandeis University, and from 1976 to 1978 at Harvard University. As an artist, teacher, and writer, Mazur has been active in reviving the monotype process. He contributed an essay to the pioneering exhibition catalogue The Painterly Print, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1980. Mazur recently chaired the New Provincetown Print Project , which encourages artists to create monotypes at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. He has had several exhibitions of his work and has served on the Massachusetts Council for the Arts and Humanities. He currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

A humanist concerned with social and environmental issues, Mazur has experimented with non representational imagery, but has consistently remained apart from avant-garde movements. He studied at Amherst and with Leonard Baskin in Northampton, Massachusetts, and did graduate work with Gabor Peterdi and Bernard Chaet at Yale. Following three years as a teacher at the Rhode Island School of Design he joined the faculty at Brandeis University in 1965. From 1961 to 1966 he worked on a series of prints based on visits to a mental facility in Providence—many of which comment on humanity robbed of history, age, clothes, and social standing. The influence of Rembrandt, Goya, Daumier, Edvard Munch, and Kathe Kollwitz can be discerned in Mazur's early work, although during the late 1960s thematic concerns gave way to experimentation with graphic media. Highly expressionistic in handling and color, and ambiguous in thematic relationships, Mazur's recent paintings explore disturbing narrative images of implied violence and its emotional residue.
Virginia M. Mecklenburg Modern American Realism: The Sara Roby Foundation Collection (Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press for the National Museum of American Art, 1987) Trudy V. Hansen authored a catalogue raisonne of Mazur's prints in 2000. In 1987 he was included in the group exhibition: The Monumental Image: Prints by Jennifer Bartlett, Chuck Close, Michael Mazur, Susan Rothenberg, Donald Sultan, Terry Winters, California State University, Northridge; Modern American Realism, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.Mazur's work is owned by museums including the Chicago Art Institute, the British Museum, The Fogg Museum, the Philadelphia Museum, Whitney Museum, Yale Art Gallery, The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.
He was long active as a teacher and supporter at the Fine Arts Work Center, Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Michael Mazur
Michael Mazur (b. 1935, New York, NY – d. 2009, Cambridge, MA) is internationally recognized for his paintings, drawings, and prints and for his fluidity between media. Mazur is unusual among artists in that he worked successfully in both abstract and representational imagery, influenced by elements of Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and early Chinese paintings. He was instrumental in the revival of the monotype in 20th-century art and renowned for his pastels, as well.Mazur’s work is in numerous prominent museum collections, including the British Museum, UK; Cincinnati Art Museum, OH; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH; de Cordova Museum, Lincoln, MA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; Art Institute of Chicago, IL; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Museum of Modern Art, NY; Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA; Smith College, MA; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; Yale University Art Gallery, CT; and Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, NJ. Mazur has been included in solo and group exhibitions at RYAN LEE (2018), Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts (2018), de Saisset Museum, Santa Clara University (2017), Mead Art Museum, Amherst College (2017), deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (2016), The Print Center, Philadelphia (2015), International Print Center of New York (2015) and the Boston Museum of Fine Art (2006). In 2000, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston held a retrospective, which later traveled to Stanford University Art Museum, the Jane Vorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. An accompanying catalogue was published by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Mary Ryan Gallery has held 14 solo exhibitions featuring Mazur’s work between 1990 and 2010.
