About the Item
Ross Moffett remains a legendary Cape Cod artist. Moffett painted with an intensely personal focus, composing canvases that inevitably reflected the character of his native western America and the life of the farmer, but with values transposed for the life of a Provincetown fisherman.
He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with the well-known painter and teacher Charles Webster Hawthorne in Provincetown. He soon became one of Hawthorne's star pupils and gained a reputation as a young lion of the art community. For over half a century, Ross Moffett lived and worked in Provincetown, painting its beaches and harbors, its fishing vessels, and its people.
The broadly-drawn features of this early-career oil painting evoke pre-renaissance works on religious and mythopoetic themes similar to his extensive work in murals. The influence of indigenous or native art that characterized Moffett’s work from the 1920s is also clear in this painting’s limited palette and simplified use of light.
