Critic Reviews

“"Moser's small, firmly detailed, strongly textured, and subtly expressive black-and-white portraits demonstrate all that art can grasp and encompass."”

“Moser’s small, firmly detailed, strongly textured, and subtly expressive black-and-white portraits demonstrate all that art can grasp and encompass.” Booklist
“Moser is arguably the preeminent bookman in the world today, working as an artist, printmaker, and designer.” University California Library Blog
“Moser holds a place among the top tier of the top tier of illustrators. He is one of the foremost living practitioners of wood engraving, an unforgiving medium in which he has developed a style characterized by studied realism and fine attention to detail.” Art Fuse
“Moser’s engravings are direct and sometimes harrowing.” San Fransisco Chronicle
“Moser, one of the most widely acknowledged printmaking geniuses in the world.” Catholic Library World
