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.
