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.

By William Miller Frazer
Located in Woodbury, CT
Outstanding Scottish landscape from the late 19th to early 20th century
oil on canvas.
Born in Scone, Frazer would participate in the growth and development of Scottish landscape painting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Long desiring to compete with the artistic endeavors of England, Scotland was making sure to make its mark, investing heavily in its artists. Indeed, Frazer would attend the acclaimed Royal Scottish Academy to receive his art education, intended to compete with English schools such as the Royal Academy in London.

Frazer’s work is a prime example of the growing influence of impressionism on Scottish landscape art...
