Colin Moss was a noted British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and teacher who served as a camoufleur during the Second World War. Moss was born in Ipswich but grew up in Plymouth following the death of his father at the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Moss studied at the Plymouth Art School from 1930 to 1934 and then went on to the Royal College of Art, where he studied under Gilbert Spencer and Charles Mahoney. He worked on murals for the British Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
During the war, Moss made a series of watercolours depicting his time as a camoufleur. He had designed the camouflage scheme for Stonebridge Power Station in Wembley, and produced several watercolours of the camouflaged structure. These pictures, as well as several others painted during his WWII deployment, are now held by the Imperial War Museum, having been purchased by the War Artists' Advisory Committee.
In 1947 Moss' military service ended, and he became a teacher at the Ipswich School of Art. He had solo exhibitions at the Kensington Art Gallery in 1951 and the Zwemmer Gallery in 1955, and his work began to be acquired by the national collections. He became a founder member of the New Ipswich Art Group in 1958, and the Six in Suffolk Group in 1976. In the 1970s he exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Watercolour Society, and retrospective exhibitions of his work were held at various British art galleries throughout the 1980s. He continued to hold numerous solo exhibitions after his retirement, and taught artists Brian Eno and Maggi Hambling.
Provenance: "Britain in Watercolours" exhibition.

A Fishing Boat at Sea, Late Mid-Century Gouache on Paper
Located in Cotignac, FR
French gouache on paper of a boat travelling the seas. The work is unsigned but dated 22/11/70. Presented in simple gilt frame with handcut mount.
A really engaging and powerful painting. The artist has managed to capture the swell of the sea, the movement of the boat listing gently to one side, the slightly rusty hull, the moody sky filled with all the seagulls following behind, which suggests it might be a fishing boat. They have used a limited but strong colour palette, blues, blacks and greys and then just to highlight and catch the eye a splash of green to represent the starboard or right bow light.
