Description

According to Francis Harvey in a 1954 article written for Print: The Magazine for the Graphic Arts, “Moy’s techniques of printmaking represent a considerable advance. By using innovative techniques such as transferring designs painted on transparent celluloid to woodblocks, Mr. Moy was able to retain the immediacy of his image making and the painterly quality that made his work so recognizable. In his later works, Mr. Moy continued his inventive use of materials and techniques, incorporating the collage medium, and experimenting with non-traditional, common materials. He pioneered a technique of printmaking using cardboard known as color relief printing.”

The eminent critic Emily Genauer wrote of Mr. Moy’s art, “It is a language, seemingly abstract, that through its mélange of bright colors and fragmentary shapes as vivid as banners whipping in the wind, communicates concretely what the artist saw and felt… His own work always stems from events and experiences, deriving from past and present, and melting into a unified image.”
