JOHN MOORE (american, b. 1941) "CLAUDE GLASS" Signed and dated 04 bottom left, oil on canvas. 30 x 30 in. (76.2 x 76.2cm) provenance: Hirschl & Adler Modern, New York, New York. Patricia & John Roche, New York, New York (acquired directly from the above in 2005). exhibited: "John Moore," Hirschl & Adler Modern, New York, New York, April 28 - June 3, 2005 (exhibition catalogue no. 2, illustrated). note: John Moore is a careful constructor of thoughtfully built worlds. His meticulously composed paintings display a rigorous formalism, rife with geometric variation, complex perspective, subtle color combinations, and richly textured surfaces. Whether painting city scenes, interiors or post-industrial landscapes, Moore combines views that he has observed with scenes remembered or imagined. The resulting works are much more than realistic representations of the world around us, but rather present complex and often enigmatic narratives that engage and challenge the very idea of how and what we see. John Moore has enjoyed a long and illustrious career. An elected member of the National Academy of Design, he has received numerous honors, including awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He served for a decade as the Chair of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania, and previously headed the graduate painting program at Boston University. His paintings are included in the collections of such major institutions as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
