Victor Hume Moody created timeless images of an Arcadian idyll at a
time when most artists had turned their backs on the classical
tradition. The centuries old heritage of Western art was too
inspiring and too valuable for him to simply abandon. Over a
working life of nearly 70 years he tirelessly researched and worked
to revive traditional painting techniques. At the same time he
created a unique fusion of classical figure composition and the
pastoral English landscape. Since Victor Moody died his work has
been widely seen and his reputation has steadily risen. The Harris
Museum in Preston held a retrospective exhibition, 'The Last
Classicist', in 1992 and more recently his work featured in the
2010 exhibition 'Counterpoint - Modern Realism 1910-1950' held at
the Fine Art Society. The dispersal of works from the Estate of the
artist's daughter, which has made this present catalogue possible,
represents a further important moment in the rehabiliation of
Victor Moody's reputation. It is hoped that his work will, as a
result, continue to become more widely seen and better understood.
