 These next photos are from the exhibit of the works of Ed Moses, born 1926 in Long Beach,k CA.  The description posted states that it was through drawing that Moses reconciled his admiration for abstract art of the early twentieth century with an appreciation for pattern, and an almost compulsive need to make marks.  The exhibit is entitled:  "Ed Moses:  Drawings from the 1960's and 70's."  It comprises over eighty works with more than forty of which have been promised as gifts by Moses to LACMA.

"Glady McBean," 1953, crayon, graphite, collage, and casein on watercolor paper.
