Ross Moffett
The Lost City in the Andes (Machu Picchu

1929

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. Moffett expressed his understanding of life through the sheer artistic power conveyed through form and colors in his painting. This figurative landscape oil on canvas carries a compelling statement about humanity and its past.

In 1930, Irvine began making prismatic paintings—landscapes and still-lifes rendered as though seen through a glass prism. The effect accentuated the play of light on the edges of objects. Irvine remained committed to this style of prismatic painting throughout the 1930s, winning the best-picture award in 1934 for a picture of a life-sized nude at the annual exhibition of the Lyme Art...
