Just about every artist in the Southern California region interviewed by Malibu Arts Journal has said they’ve been influenced by Ed Moses.
He was a significant figure on the Los Angeles art scene since the late 50’s. His recent loss hurt the art community here.
“With his shock white mane and beard, Ed was a striking presence and familiar face on the LA arts scene he helped create,” said William Turner, owner of the Gallery that represents Moses. “He was a force of nature, whose loss will be deeply felt by all who knew, loved and revered him. It has been a tremendous honor to have worked with him so closely and actively in his final years.”
In his early years, Ed Moses was identified with what was later known as “the Cool School” of artists, which emerged from the Beat aesthetic of the 1950’s. This group primarily consisted of artists known as The Ferus Gang: Moses, Billy Al Bengston, Robert Irwin, Craig Kaufman, Edward Kienholz, Ken Price, Ed Ruscha, Larry Bell, John Altoon and Wallace Berman. They were the first generation of post-WWII artists who rose to prominence between the years 1957 - 1966 at the Ferus Gallery under owners Walter Hopps and later Irving Blum. Moses’ path to this group began about 10 years earlier with an unlikely encounter.

The Improbable Worlds of Glen Wexler
Alone cello player sits on top a solitary pinnacle towering above a demon’s hole. Above her head, ravens circle. They’re watching her choreograph her last rites with each draw of her bow. A giant guitar is hoisted out of a pit in a desert mine landscape. Miners oversee the guitar’s unearthing. A beautiful woman’s severed head rests on the wastelands. Her closed eyes and decorated face tell the story of her last breath. All these improbable realities are narratives created by celebrated photographer Glen Wexler.

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music
Opium Moon plays Kama Sutra music. Her violin weeps the notes of a love ballad. The bow is at times ecstatic and at others barely touching the strings. As she performs, we’re transported to another universe. There are overtones of Itzhak Perlman in her fingers, and Isaac Stern in her bow. Best of all, in her facial expressions you will find the plateaued emotions of her musical performance. Her whole body is into it, like a violent ballet. This is Lili Haydn with Opium Moon.
