Emily Mason (1932-2019) was an American abstract painter working between New York City and Brattleboro, Vermont. For more than six decades, Mason explored her distinctive vein of lyrical, luminous abstraction. Born and raised in New York City, Emily Mason’s art education began at home and in the studio with her mother Alice Trumbull Mason, a writer, painter, and a founding member of the American Abstract Artists. In 1956, Mason was awarded a two-year Fulbright grant to paint in Venice, Italy. There she studied at the Accademia delle Belle Arti where she first experimented with her signature style of applying oil paint and pigment onto the surface of the canvas. Mason began teaching at CUNY Hunter College in 1979, and became a lifelong, dedicated mentor and teacher. Emily Mason is represented by Miles McEnery Gallery in New York City.
