Life
editShe studied painting with John Henry Twachtman.[2] She had developed into a well established artist by 1912.
She was raised in Beacon, New York, where the fire station is named after her father, Willard H. Mase. After finishing school in Beacon, Ms. Mase and her friend and contemporary, Alice Judson, traveled to France to study painting where they were influenced by the Impressionists of the day: Renoir, Manet and Monet.[3] "Ms. Mase's style lent itself well to the subject matter of the Hudson River and its Highlands... radically changing the images from the precise Hudson River School technique to the softer impressionism then gaining influence abroad."
Armory Show of 1913
editMase was one of the artists who exhibited at the Armory Show of 1913, which included one of her pastels entitled September Haze. The piece was priced at $100, the equivalent of $3,038.79 in 2024.[4]
Reception
