ED MOSES
Ed Moses (1926-2018) was born in Long Beach, CA. A colorful personality, he was known for his abstract paintings, and for pushing the boundaries of painting and the definition of what it means to be an artist. Moses earned both a B.A. and M.A. from the University of California Los Angeles. Moses, considered a member of the California "Cool School," was among the first artists to exhibit with the storied Ferus Gallery in 1958. His 2013 solo exhibition Yesterday’s Tomorrows, featuring his ‘crackle’ paintings at Brian Gross Fine Art in San Francisco, provided the footage for his video produced by The Artist Profile Archive. He was also interviewed in his Venice, CA studio.
His work can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
