BROKEN LOOSE
BROKEN LOOSE
Fearless in his experimentation, Ed Moses engaged in what he saw as the continual process of discovery for over half a century. BROKEN LOOSE is a curated collection that samples from Moses’ complete oeuvre to showcase the gamut of the artist's explorations.
“My thought is that the artist functions in a tribal context, that he is the shaman...Shamans were the interpreters of the unknown, they reacted to the unknown with symbols and objects and wall painting."
ED MOSES (American, 1926-2018)
Considered one of the foremost postwar abstract painters in the Southern California scene, working alongside a generation of artists known as the “cool school”, Moses was among the first artists to be shown at L.A.’s legendary Ferus Gallery in 1957. He has since been collected by a number of prominent institutions including Museum of Modern Art, NY; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C.; and Musee National d’Art Moderne, Paris.
