About the art & the artist:

Excerpt:
It is clear that Ira Moskowitz has a great capacity for deriving inspiration from the scenes that have meant much to him. Thus his images of the Southwest, with their dramatic rendering of the life of the Indians there, called forth the admiration of our great anthropologist John Collier, and our great painter John Sloan. Thus also his views of New York are penetrating and valuable records of the place w where he lives.

The unexpected glimpses of the city may, at one moment, have an aspect of monumentality, at another, a sense of vivacity; but always the quick observation and the sensitive color tell that the artist has been directly inspired by the scene he records: that is the reason for our pleasure in these portrayals of the metropolis-so vast and withal, so human.
