This installation takes a focused look at Alden Mason’s work in the SAM collection. The museum’s holdings span almost the entire career of this important Northwest artist, now in his ninety-first year. The installation explores Mason’s varied career and how he continually reinvented himself over the decades. Viewers will come away with a new understanding of Alden Mason’s importance and the continuing relevance of his painting. —Michael Darling, Former Jon & Mary Shirley Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art
