About the Item

"The Void" Figurative Abstract Composition in Gouache, Acrylic, and Pencil Intricate figurative composition by Robert Moesle (American, b. 1932). A large black space takes the central position in this piece. The color used here is flat but augmented by subtle areas of ridged paint texture. Below this space are a variety of figures drawn in pencil and shaded to varying degrees, some of them appear contemplative while others appear to be speaking. Along the right edge of the piece, an individual is facing out towards the void with a hand covering their face. The top edge of the piece is decorated with stamps of an antique helmet. Signed in the lower left corner. Titled "The Void" on piece of tape adhered to original mat. Unframed Board size: 29.69" H x 36.81" W Robert Moesle was born in San Jose, California in 1932. He graduated from San Jose State College and attended The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, England. Moesle lives in the Chateau region of France, which he finds to be an ideal location for a watercolorist. Moesle paints outside and enjoys watching the landscape change through the seasons. Unlike most watercolorists, Moesle takes his time painting and tries to capture the feeling of durability in his subjects. Moesle has exhibited his work in shows in London, Paris and throughout the United States. “Figurative painting by Robert Moesle are…lyrical, visionary, softly dream-like… Moesle’s Harlequin Prince offers a memory of early Picasso. But he is rather a conservative artist, whose dreamy themes and various jumbles of association make reference to Renaissance art motifs, and also to genteel pre-Raphaelite art.” - 1969 San Francisco Examiner art review by Alexander Fried
