About the Artist GEOFFREY MOSS
Geoffrey Moss is best known for his political drawings, many of which
have been published in his book "The Art And Politics of Geoffrey Moss" (with a
Foreword by Dan Rather). He was the first illustrator in the country to be
syndicated "captionless." Through his drawings, he provides an interesting and
humorous perspective on our politics and our world.
To his credit, he has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; has three
university degrees and is a teacher and lecturer on conceptual thinking. He
continues to be the premier syndicated conceptualist in newspaper graphics.
Geoffrey's work has appeared in The Toronto Star, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The
Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report and many others. His
drawings have been exhibited at the Kennedy Center, Pompidou Center, Robert Hull Flemming Museum and Newport Art Museum. Most recently, Moss had a solo show of
paintings in a New York gallery.
Moss has also worked on many special projects including designing a
T-shirt for the Bruce Springsteen Hungerthon in support of World Hunger Year. He
also created the Star-Man campaign for Christmas windows in the Paul Stuart
stores in Chicago and New York, which won an award for outstanding creativity.
In 1994, Moss was commissioned to commemorate the Rockwell Centennial for the
new Norman Rockwell Museum.
To help raise money for the Special Olympics, Moss painted the "Cracker
Jack Kid & Hotdog" card for the traveling show "The Artist & The Baseball Card."
Moss continues to write and illustrate children's books, among them "Arthur's
Artichoke" and "Henry's Moon." Moss was set consultant for the "Next Wave"
production of "Bob Berkey's Power Project" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. For
the last few years, he has photographed and interviewed bikers from around the
country, which resulted in the publication of his book "The Biker Code," in
collaboration with Stuart Miller. |
