Henriette Lorimier, Female Nude (1796). Black chalk, charcoal, and white crayon in the Horvitz Collection (Wikimedia Commons), exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago (2024-2025). Though George Moore never wrote about Lorimier, her drawing anticipates the art of Impressionists he knew and admired, especially Degas and Renoir, and echoes his beloved Ingres.
Welcome to the interactive Aesthetics of George Moore, edited by Robert Becker. The Art Criticism tab contains essays on the visual arts. Literary Criticism contains essays on everything except the visual arts.
Most of the essays were originally published in periodicals; a few in books. They comprise George Moore’s wide-ranging and self-expressive philosophy of art.
Most of his essays are digitally published here. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to collect 88 outliers from the physical stacks of the British Library in London.
