Recenzii

“Moser’s small, firmly detailed, strongly textured, and subtly expressive black-and-white portraits demonstrate all that art can grasp and encompass.”

“Moser is arguably the preeminent bookman in the world today, working as an artist, printmaker, and designer.”

“Moser holds a place among the top tier of the top tier of illustrators. He is one of the foremost living practitioners of wood engraving, an unforgiving medium in which he has developed a style characterized by studied realism and fine attention to detail.”

“Moser’s engravings are direct and sometimes harrowing.”

“Moser, one of the most widely acknowledged printmaking geniuses in the world.”
