The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art
The history of the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art began more than 12
years ago when Bill and Dorothy Masterson, lifelong supporters of the arts,were
introduced to the innovative MADI art movement.
Fascinated by the playful complexity and fascinating figures inherent within
this modern art form, the Mastersons became involved in the MADI movement,
traveling around the world to collect MADI art pieces and even staying with
Carmelo Arden Quin, the movement's founder.
When Mr. Masterson's firm, Kilgore
& Kilgore, moved to the building on 3109 Carlisle, the Mastersons
decided to give back to the community that has supported the firm by converting
the majority of the first floor of the building into the first permanent
MADI Museum. As such, the renovation of the building itself was designed
in the MADI style; one that emphasizes innovative designs containing an
array of geometric forms. The concept behind MADI is more than just an assembly
of colored shapes, however - the art is universally accessible and appealing,
and the more it is studied, the more multifaceted it becomes.
