Early life and education

Moser graduated from Brown University in 1978 and was the recipient of the Brooklyn Museum's Max Beckmann Scholarship in Painting. She received her MFA from Hunter College in 1981. From 1981-1991 she was Associate Director of Materials for the Arts for the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Career

She has been on the faculty of Princeton University, Virginia Commonwealth University, SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Empire State College, The School of Visual Arts, and has lectured widely across the United States. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and Europe, and featured in prominent public and private collections.

Since the 1980s, Moser has been expanding and rewriting the legacies of gestural abstraction. Engaged with the work of choreographers and filmmakers including Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage and Teresa De Keersmaeker as well as women artists such as Lynda Benglis and Joan Mitchell, her paintings, drawings and collages have been addressing the relationship between mark making practices, performative gestures, passages of time, and the moving body.

In her extensive work with printmakers, Moser investigates gestural indices and colors and remediates the connection between the hand-made and mechanical. She has created numerous editions with Jungle Press, Manneken Press, Brand X, Burnet Editions, and others.

More recently, Moser's gestural repertoire has found new forms and media in collaborative projects with poets, artists and designers/architects. [2]

Anne Ryan American painter

Anne Ryan (1889–1954) was an American Abstract Expressionist artist associated with the New York School. Her first contact with the New York City avant-garde came in 1941 when she joined the Atelier 17, a famous printmaking workshop that the British artist Stanley William Hayter had established in Paris in the 1930s and then brought to New York when France fell to the Nazis. The great turning point in Ryan's development occurred after the war, in 1948. She was 57 years old when she saw the collages of Kurt Schwitters at the Rose Fried Gallery, in New York City, in 1948. She right away dedicated herself to this newly discovered medium. Since Anne Ryan was a poet, according to Deborah Solomon, in Kurt Schwitters’s collages “she recognized the visual equivalent of her sonnets – discrete images packed together in an extremely compressed space.” When six years later Ryan died, her work in this medium numbered over 400 pieces.
