Pearls of Cleveland

Archived Artist Moses Pearl was a child of Cleveland. Born here in 1917, Moses was a product of the Cleveland School system, the Cleveland School of Art (later the Cleveland Institute of Art) and Kent State University. Throughout his career, he worked at the Cleveland Museum of Art, taught art in the Cleveland Schools, and was shown in 19 May Shows.

 

Moses spent his creative life exploring the vibrancy of Cleveland as he worked, taught and painted throughout the city. His weekly explorations led him to steel mills, girded bridges, towering buildings and delightful, hidden corners of the city. His vibrant color palette and graphic style captured the intensity that he found on the streets.

 

Often accompanied by his daughter Sharlene or son Stuart, Moses opened his children’s artistic sensibilities with his plein aire paintings and watercolors, while at the same time instilling in them an appreciation of the colorful landscape and architecture of their surroundings.

 

The Artists Archives of the Western Reserve is proud to present Pearls of Cleveland: featuring the work of Moses Pearl, the paintings of his daughter Sharlene Pearl Green, and the photography of his Son Stuart. On view January 15, 2014 – February 27, 2015.
