Property from the Collection of Bob Herron, Savannah, Boston and Paris

Description:

Rob Moore (Boston, 20th C), Summer IV, Mixed Media, signed and dated in pencil '90 lower right, titled lower left, woodblock on paper collage. Frame size: 33 in. x 42 7/8 in.

Rob Moore was orn in 1937 in Trenton, New Jersey, and he came to artmaking by way of studying art history. After studying painting and printmaking in Cincinnati and Philadelphia, Moore began teaching at the Massachusetts College of Art in 1968 up until his death from AIDS-related illnesses in 1992. Moore was known as a demanding yet impactful teacher-qualities that could also describe his printmaking from the seventies. While Moore’s prints draw our attention to subtle geometries of the everyday, his work in painting and sculpture summon more intimate associations. Moore garnered prestige during his career, including a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1975 and acquisition of his work by the Museum of Modern Art and the MFA Boston.
