Moore, Benson Bond, 1882-1974

Printmaker, landscape painter, draftsman, restorer; Washington, D.C. and Sarasota, Florida. Born 1882. Died 1974.

Born in Washington, D.C., Moore assisted his father in his picture restoring business. In 1902, he was employed by the Maurice Joyce Photo-Engraving Co., and soon afterwards produced a series of technical drawings for Alexander Graham Bell. Moore studied at the Corcoran School of Art, and, in 1914, he joined The Ramblers (later the Washington Landscape Club), a group of artists who went on painting and drawing expeditions in the environs of Washington, D.C. Moore taught etching at the private Hill School of Art and was an active member of many regional art associations. Following the death of his wife Florence (Flossie) in the early 1950s, he moved to Sarasota, Florida.
