work in the context of American art history, and describes his special
ability to reveal the natural world.

Reviews:
FORREST MOSES,
is one of the most elegantly designed monographs published in years. For
those who have followed Moses’ career it is a complete and lush
publication capturing the richness of his work with clarity, precision and
elegance. For those who are not as familiar with his work, the book
provides a comprehensive and thoughtful overview on this timeless and
critically accomplished painter of our times.
Moses, writing reads like poetry and
gives an intimate glimpse into the context of his work, his passion for
nature, and for painting. He writes eloquently of his life, his
philosophical commitments and all the critical events that led him to his
career in American landscape painting. Art historian, Mary Terrance McKay
writes an Essay entitled “The Landscape of All We Know”, intelligently
placing Moses in the context of American art history. McKay captures the
depth and beauty of his paintings and how Moses reveals the natural
world....

Forrest Moses’ body of work that spans over 40 years illustrates the
artist’s equally accomplished eye and hand across the mediums of painting,
drawing, and printmaking. The range of his images delineates his roots and
interest in the landscape tradition while underscoring his acute awareness
of his sense of place. His oeuvre is as generously represented here as are
his aesthetic accomplishments and explorations in this large format volume
that has been so beautifully and sensitively designed and produced. It
surely merits the attention of collectors of art and of books alike.

Forrest Moses, monograph, evidences in
his words and his art a sensibility and an approach to his craft that is
at once tough and tender. His is a most rare talent, as his words suggest
and his painting has continuously confirmed.
