About the artist
Curtis Moffat
Curtis Moffat was born in 1887 into a wealthy New York family. He was raised in Brittany and attended boarding school in the United States. After a brief diplomatic career, he studied painting in New York and from 1913-1914 at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In Paris during the 1920s, Moffat collaborated with Man Ray, one of several avant-garde artists to revive the photogram, which was originally used at the invention of photography in the 1830s. Moffat's photograms are among the earliest examples of the 20th-century interest in camera-less, abstract photography.
