Exhibit: Barry Moser — A Thief Among Angels

In a distinguished career that spans five decades, Barry Moser has established himself as a premier book designer, a renowned children’s book illustrator, and one of the finest wood engravers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Drawn from both Special Collections and the general collections of the UWM Libraries, this retrospective exhibition presents examples of Barry Moser’s original wood engravings, illustrations, and his fine press and commercial work from 1976-2007.

The exhibition was curated, designed, and installed by Olivia Hickner, UWM Special Collections Graduate Intern and UWM School of Information Studies graduate student.
