Russell Dale Moffett Art

American, 1899-1984

Russell Dale Moffett was born in Indiana on September 23, 1899. By 1942, he had settled in San Diego and was a muralist. A large proportion of his output was created to decorate the bars and dives of those honky-tonk neighborhoods in Downtown San Diego that catered to the soldiers and sailors who passed through in the boom war years when it was Liberty Town. Much of his work must have been lost to gentrification and urban renewal. Regarded as a quintessential outsider artist, Russell Dale Moffett’s work has begun to attract collectors’ serious attention. Some of it is just now coming to light. One of eight lost Hawaiian Surfer Murals was recently discovered and sold at auction for over $17,000. He died at the ripe old age of 85 on September 8, 1984, in San Diego.

American Impressionist: Springtime, a sunny path in France 19thC oil painting
By William Baptiste Baird
Located in Norwich, GB
This beautiful and light filled painting testifies of a new dawn: in the 1880s the landscape and animalier artist William Baird turns to Impressionism. Our Sunny Path, with looser brushwork and lighter colours, convey the fleeting nature of the present. Our lovely oil on canvas may well be homage to Claude Monet - according to Baird's inscription on the stretcher, it was painted in Mantes, which is only about 6 miles from Vétheuil, where Monet was living and working in the 1880s! William Baptiste Baird was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1847, but as an adult moved to Paris to perfect his painting technique. In Paris, Baird studied under Adolphe Yvon...
