Before the Song

Emma Fordyce MacRae 20th Century American Artist

Painting of Beatrice

Emma Fordyce MacRae also scraped the paint which flattened the brushstrokes. Unlike other artists most of her paintings are not varnished. Sometimes she also treated discrete parts of the compositions with an additional layer of thin paint as in the hair of the woman on the right in Before the Song in which a lighter tone has been applied on top of the rich rust color.
