Open Studio: John Henri Moser

April 01, 2020
Welcome to virtual Open Studio! Enjoy learning about artwork and participate in a fun art project at home! Today, we will be looking at the work of John Henri Moser. John Henri Moser was an artist who lived in Utah. He studied art in Paris for two years, and it was there that he was introduced to a new style of painting called fauvism. This style inspired him, and he brought it back to Utah, where he became known for his colorful landscapes.

A Message from the Director

April 01, 2020
Dear friends of the BYU Museum of Art, In dark days, peoples of many faith traditions gather in circles of light and comfort. I see that happening during the MOA’s necessary season of closure. We feel grateful that we have the capacity to adapt our jobs, our family “gatherings,” as well as our modes of worship in meaningful and enriching ways. The approaching General Conference and Easter week will surely be both poignant and unprecedented. Our prescient Prophet prepared us for this. Currently, the MOA staff is operating under unfamiliar conditions, yet every one of them brings solutions to achieve the best outcomes and least disruption of our programming. While the galleries are darkened, our website, app, and social media have been fortified with art content to engage you until our beloved museum reopens. Download the new BYU MOA app to immerse yourself in the rich collection, even when the museum doors are closed. My colleagues collectively desire that your experience with family and friends will be enhanced by works of art that convey hope and comfort. We wish you much joy despite trying conditions in the holy weeks to come. Mark Magleby Director, BYU Museum of Art
