Bird, signed "MOSET" lower left, paint on board, 13 x 7 in.
Mose T lived in a small house in a Montgomery neighborhood located very near Alabama State University and less than five minutes from the steps of the Alabama State Capitol. There was a sofa on the front porch, usually occupied by a young relative acting as a doorman/guard for Mose. He knew us as friends and more often than not, we talked and laughed for a while and said our goodbyes without talking much about art, but sometimes he would show us new work and we would make a purchase.
Because of an injury sustained during a job, Mose was somewhat disabled and painted from his bed. His bedroom was his studio, office, and parlor so guests were welcomed. It was a happy home with his fantastical creatures, his titillating women, and strong cross art all hung together. Visiting Mose in his home was truly a fun, head spinning experience. He loved to laugh, was always joking and much of the time it was naughty. Especially when we showed up with his favorites- fried chicken and beer- to enjoy together.
Condition consistent with age and manner of the artist.
