Moore Than Meets The Eye: The Life and Times, Art and Wit of California Painter Scott Moore

Scott Moore’s surreal paintings and celebrated wit have resonated with art collectors and enthusiasts for nearly half a century. In this first-ever retrospective of Moore’s work, over one hundred fifty of his most memorable paintings, curated by the artist himself, are beautifully reproduced. You’ll find works, such as the iconic Evaporated Milk, Coffee and Donuts, performed at the famed Pageant of the Masters, and Moore’s most recent work, 24 Carrots, newly installed in the Hilbert Museum of California Art. Accompanied by a rich tapestry of photographs and stories that reveal the sphere of influence inspiring Moore’s work—as told with equally-celebrated wit by the award-winning ad writer, Larre Johnson—this soon-to-be classic is a must-have for art (and California) lovers everywhere. About Scott Moore As a longtime exhibitor at the annual Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, California, Moore has developed a following that includes private collectors and art institutions alike. His California scene paintings have been widely recognized for their craft and originality by prestigious organizations, including the American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society, the Hallmark Art Collection, and the Laguna Art Museum.
