Colin Moss drew and painted scenes of ordinary life - men in the pub, women eating sandwiches in the park or bending to pick up milk from doorsteps. These images form an important part of Moss' artistic legacy to Ipswich. He was also an acclaimed art teacher, leaving a profound impression on students including, Brian Eno and Maggi Hambling.
‘His teaching, like his painting, was tough, honest and passionate.’ Maggi Hambling, The Guardian, 2005.
Painter, draughtsman, camoufleur, printmaker and teacher, Colin Moss was born in Ipswich in 1914. He studied at the Plymouth Art School, 1930-1934 and won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, studying under Gilbert Spencer, Charles Mahoney and Percy Horton, 1934-1938. Among his contemporaries was Mervyn Levy, who became a life-long friend. In the same year, he completed mural paintings for the British pavilion at the New York World Fair. During the war, he was a camouflage designer to the Ministry of Home Security. After he was demobbed, he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the Ipswich School of Art and held that position until his retirement in 1979.
‘The legacy of Colin Moss casts a huge shadow across East Anglia's art landscape.’ Andrew Clarke, Art Critic (2010)
