Artist
Raymond Mason
British, 1922–2010
Raymond Mason was a British artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Raymond Mason was born in Birmingham.
Raymond Mason left London for Paris in the 1940s and never quite moved back, trading rain for café tables and studio corners where he sketched passersby in quick, scratchy ink lines. He once told a friend he wanted to capture “the weight of a moment,” and those crowded sheets feel like stills from a play performed in real time. Hunt down one of his 1963 ink drawings in the Tate’s archive, you’ll see a woman hurrying past a lamppost, her coat and shadow tangled together in a single unbroken stroke.
