- Mary Pratt, née West, painter (b at Fredericton, NB 15 Mar 1935). For subject matter Mary Pratt uses things found in the kitchen of her home at St Mary's Bay, Nfld: baked apples or cod fillets on tin foil, eviscerated chickens on a Coca-Cola box, 2 lunch pails. Some of her earlier paintings have a whimsical mood; some of her later ones, ambitious works in a large format, such as a moose carcass hanging in a service station, are more sombre. But her kitchen imagery is what has established her reputation. Pratt paints with care. Her training has been long in the making. She took her first colour lessons from her mother, Katherine E. MacMurray. Then she studied at Mount Allison (1953-56) with Alex COLVILLE, Lawren Phillips HARRIS, and drawing master Ted Pulford, graduating in 1961. Often she works from slides, a tendency in international art that relates her to American photo-realists such as Richard Estes, Chuck Close and Ben Schonzeit. But unlike their work, her domestic images recall old masters like Chardin. She illustrated the book Across the Table: An Indulgent Look at Food in Canada (1985), by Cynthia Wine. She is married to painter Christopher PRATT.
