Moiré Studies (including Little Portuguese Bend), c. 19654 gelatin silver prints, one signed and dated in ink on the recto.11 x 14in (28 x 35.6cm) or the reverse

Moseley trained at the University of Washington, then in Paris with the legendary modernist Fernand Léger (1881–1955). As an artist and teacher, Moseley was keenly aware of the rapidly changing art world of his era and his paintings, prints and photographs embrace modernism, abstraction, cubism, pop and op art. Moseley rarely exhibited or sold his work, making these four photographs, exquisite examples of his extraordinary gift for formal arrangements, extremely rare.
