About the Item

Sun Barn is a Rustic/Farmhouse style painting of an upstate New York barn in cobalt blue, black, white, pale orange. The artist says of this painting, "In this particular work, twilight demanded delineated, strict shadows tracing the formality of the structure. It allowed me to reference tangentially my first painting teacher and mentor’s work at The University of Vermont, Frances Colburn. Moss's works have been featured in major shows at diverse venues including the Modern Museum of Art in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Cartoon Museum, and the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. From 2002 to 2004, his mosaic, “Bus With White Walls,” was featured in an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which visited the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and six other museums nationwide. His works have also become part of important art collections including Apple Inc., the Yale Gallery, the Fleming Museum, the Poynter Institute, Comcast Corp., and the American Can Company. Geoffrey Moss considers himself “… a working artist documenting the anatomy of curiosity.” Mentored by the University of Vermont’s painter, Francis Colburn, Moss earned his BA in American Literature, then a Yale BFA/MFA; his third year at Yale on an out-of-residence full scholarship. His Masters project focused on the color black, exploring architectonic shapes creating a series of drawings and photograms that continue to occupy his body of work. Certainly Moss’s career as a painter has taken a circuitous route: art restorer, photographer, illustrator, theatrical designer, animator, author. Eight years as a patinator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Conservation Department resulted in a travel grant to study medieval polychrome statuary and frescos throughout Europe. To support his painting he free-lanced for the Op-ed pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, consequently leading to a 23-year contract with The Washington Post Writers Group as a nationally syndicated political satirist. A collection of his drawings was subsequently published, The Art and Politics of Geoffrey Moss, forwarded by CBS’s Dan Rather. His captionless iconic drawings, MOSSPRINTS “…an artist’s take on global politics” gained recognition with three Pulitzer-Prize nominations including one for his series on the Watergate Scandal and another for his 9/11 series, recognized with a solo exhibition at Washington D.C.’s Newseum. Discussing the uncommonly wide range of his work, Moss observes in his artist statement, "As a working artist, I am continually conscious that critically it is confusing to categorize all that I do. All the work comes from one place, and feeds on all that I pay attention to." A statement from the artist: My work is about drawing...about crossing the line. Over the years, the work has become comfortably less representational, focusing more on the reduction of shapes and forms to reflect the interaction of color, the energy of paint, and the way the paint – the physicality of painting — documents a personal dialogue of spontaneous movement that finds form as a visual statement. It’s about my dedication to the architecture of anatomy, of shapes I arrange and adjust. I work in series, a process that begins with sufficient numbers of drawings to continue idea-to-canvas. My lexicon stems from architectonic restrictions of the Bauhaus and Shaker design, 18th C. erotic Japanese prints, Russian Constructivism, religious symbols, Chinese medicine labels and vintage comic books. It is also supported by my first job after art school; eight years as an art restorer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with its vast inventory — confirming both the universal truth that art begets art — and my compulsion to create and continue the dance.
