Biographical Sketch

Barry Moser was born October 15, 1940, in Chattanooga, Tenn. As he grew up he rebelled against the strictures of his southern, male-oriented family and their notion that art was not a man's job. He attended military school from seventh through twelfth grade, where he learned discipline and orderliness, but also developed a distrust of authority of any kind. Eventually he became an artist, illustrator, author, educator and lecturer. He has illustrated a large number of books, including classics involving characters such as Frankenstein, Br'er Rabbit, Moby Dick, Huck Finn, Sherlock Holmes, and the Wizard of Oz. Some critics feel his illustrative work is too somber and cold, but it has also been called powerful and profound. As a writer he is noted for clear, straightforward prose, and in both is written and illustrative material he shows a delightful sense of humor. He has received a number of honors and awards for his work.
