Alden Mason (artist)
Alden Mason (1919 - February 6, 2013) was a widely traveled American painter, particularly noted for his controversial murals.
==Early life==
Mason was born in the summer of 1919 in Everett, Washington. Mason was raised by a protective mother and is self described as "a small, skinny kid who couldn’t see" (it was not until Mason’s second year of college that he discovered he was in need of glasses). As a young boy, growing up as an outsider, he spent most of his time by himself outdoors bird watching, hiking, and exploring. He recalled the moment he knew he would be an artist, a little sparrow alighted his fingertip, staying for a few seconds to look into his eyes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oral history interview with Alden Mason, 1984 Jan. 13-Feb. 21 )〕 At age twelve the aspiring artist found himself trapping muskrats to earn money for mail-away cartooning lessons. "I felt guilty trapping all those muskrats, but I loved cartoons, with figures jumping, hopping and smooching. They were having more fun than I was. They lived in a brighter world."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=At 88, painter still surprises himself )〕
Throughout his artistic career evidence of Mason’s time on the Skagit farm remain in his improvisational paintings; animals and native plants such as sparrows and tulips remain themes to the present day.
