Langston Moffett (1903–1989)

Langston Moffett was primarily a newspaper writer and correspondent who painted solely from his imagination and memory because he considered the activity "a wonderful release from stress and as such has great therapeutic value in a machine age which man intrinsically hates."

He was born in Orange, New Jersey and studied in the East, including at Dartmouth College between 1921 and 1923. From 1929 to 1930, he was a staff reporter in Paris for the New York Herald
