… Mr. Moore remained steadfast in avoiding lofty posturing as a fine artist. “If someone wants a picture of a horse to illustrate their new range of lasagna,” he said in the Agency Partners interview, “then I follow the brief and produce a picture of an Italian horse.”
“Call him a master, or a titan in his sphere, and he simply won’t have it,” Stephen Gallagher wrote in the introduction to the book “Journeyman: The Art of Chris Moore,” a 2000 collaboration with the artist. “The most you’ll ever get out of him is a grudging admission of some quiet satisfaction when something in a picture comes right.”

So refreshing to read of a modest but exceptional artist/illustrator. Another loss though.
