INTRODUCTION

Having served as a surgical technician in WWII, Moses came to painting after washing out of a pre-med program at Long Beach City College. In 1949 he enrolled at UCLA where he met Walter Hopps, of the Ferus Gallery. He spent several years working towards his MFA, finally graduating in 1959. Though often at odds with the faculty, he impressed Hopps to such a degree as to have his thesis exhibition staged at Ferus gallery. He was in good company there, showing alongside Al Bengston, Llyn Foulkes, John Altoon, Kenneth Price, and Wallace Berman. It cemented his place in LA’s “Cool School”, a movement of eccentric male artists which defined the nascent LA art scene.
