FAREWELL NYC!

Farewell NYC! - Frank Mason
 

In 1958 Frank Mason established his work studio on the top floor of 385 Broome Street in Manhattan's historic Little Italy neighborhood.  Mason then moved to Italy in 1964 where he met his wife, Anne, in Rome.  They moved back to New York City in 1966, married and made their home here, eventually converting the 4th floor of the building into a private gallery space.  After Frank's passing in 2009 Anne continued to live in and preserve this stunning artist loft space until 2023 when she and the Frank Mason estate relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Exhibition Curator Andrew Julo writes:
"Motivated deeply by his faith and mastery of classical painting, Frank Mason created dozens of works imaging Biblical subjects and scenes from the lives of the saints over the course of his prolific career. It was Mason’s use of light that links his work to the artists he most admired. It serves as a theological throughline that infuses his canvases with an awareness of divine fulfillment."

REMBRANDT'S LOST SECRET:
How the Invention of Oil Painting Colored Our World

By Peter Layne Arguimbau


Rembrandt's Lost Secret by Peter Arguimbau

As entertaining as it is informative, Arguimbau opens his book with his earliest memories of Frank Mason cooking up Maroger mediums with his father and Mason’s young son, Arden.  Peter writes - ‘“What is this smoke all over the house!” my mother cried from the kitchen—but my father and Frank didn’t bother to respond.’  A page turner for any Mason fan.
