Alden Mason. (B. 1919) Nationally-recognized artist Alden Mason was born in Everett, Washington. Alden attended UW, majoring in zoology until he turned to art. He received a BFA in 1942, an MFA in 1947, and joined the faculty of the School of Art in 1949. Mason retired from the art department in 1981 and has continued to paint actively since that time. Alden's paintings have moved from highly abstract to figurative, and now back to abstract. Originally working with large bright color blotches of oil, he was forced to switch to acrylic due to an allergic reaction to the toxic fumes of oil paints. With acrylic, he uses both stick figures and thick strokes to convey aspects of nature and his life and experience. Alden Mason's work reflects both his country roots and his appreciation for primitive cultures. Mason's paintings have been shown at over 100 exhibitions. They are included the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Denver Art Gallery, the Milwaukee Art Museum, The Boise Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, and the Seattle Art Museum. The new Seattle Opera House (McCaw Hall) displays his enormous 4-piece mural on the main floor in the Impromptu Cafe.
