The purple tree : art in a boundless age

American Artist, L. R. Emerson's published, multi-directional artistic style named Masg, from Gaelic meaning to mix; or infuse. The work is best known as Upside-Down Art.

The Purple Tree: Art in Boundless Age, 2009 documents Masg's 25 year journey as Emerson honed his pioneering, inventive work through his graduate study.

Recently internationally accalimed artist Georg Baselitz commented he found Emerson's work Upside-Down Art "...inspiring", which is considerable noting that Baselitz' own art has sold for as much as $1.1 million dollars at auction and is equally unusual.

Emerson's artwork is best seen at www.e4fineart.com, The Worlds Largest Solo Artist Site™.

In 2005, after having been kept secret for over two decades, Masg or Upside-Down Art was introduced to more than 500 renowned museums and galleries worldwide including the following:

U.S. National Gallery
National Gallery and Tate Museum, London

Please read this excerpt from The Purple Tree: Art in a Boundless Age, L. R. Emerson II, 2009:

"Art is my visual voice, a platform which after securing opportunity to speak my mind produces a window for one to see into my personal thoughts. From that viewpoint, by examining my work each observer may bear witness to the very spark which ignited my artistic visions.

From an early moment during my childhood, whereby I was criticized for coloring my tree purple, there has existed deep in my art heart an irreverent passion to create work that was deliberately against the common goal.

I suggest to every artist living today: study the world and all its art, then go and make your own!

My quest has simply been striving to carve out new avenues of expression through experimentation, innovation and invention. "

L. R. Emerson II

The Purple Tree: Art in Boundless Age provided insight into the unusual compositional approaches and development of the new art movement, Masg and the text reveals Emerson's aspirationa and  determination to forge new gound in art's history. There are 15 large full-color images with the booka and readers will be refreshed by Emerson's authoritative stance on his own art as well as Emerson's take on Art's communicative properties within our modern world.
