Michael Massee Biography BORN: 1937
BIRTHPLACE: Corvallis, Oregon EDUCATION: B.A. Portland State University 1960 M.F.A. Rutgers University 1984 Mason Gross School Of The Arts MARRIED: Carol Rosenfeld 1970 SON: Jules 1971 |
| I started my professional life as
an actor but gravitated to theatrical design as it
paid better. This eventually led to my working
Off-Broadway, On-Broadway, in regional theatre, in
film and television and finally as an instructor in
scenic design at Fordham University at Lincoln Center.
I retired in 2003 in order to concentrate on my
artwork. I have had no formal art training. All of my education in art has been through the world of theatre. My boxes are often compared to the models of stage settings I have designed. With my paintings, at least at the moment of this writing, I find my self using traditional scenic background techniques. INFLUENCES: LIFE Magazine, Walt Disney, Salvador Dali and my grandmother. |
