Living a life engrossed in the visual arts has allowed author Peter Hiller to express his creativity through his own art, and to share that experience with students during a teaching career of almost forty years. His discovery of the world of Jo Mora opened new doors of interest as he endeavored to uncover Mora’s seemingly endless creative abilities and accomplishments. This biography is the culmination of more than twenty-five years of striving to understand and appreciate this important artist. Since 1981, Hiller has been fortunate to live on the Monterey Peninsula in California with his wife of forty-eight years. He is the proud father of two grown sons.
"[Mora's] written works are excerpted here, his visuals are
presented in good-sized color images, and his art is analyzed in an
an outstanding coverage that links Mora's life to his times and
achievements.
No arts library should be without this in-depth survey of his
world."-- "Donovan's Bookshelf" (5/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
"Peter Hiller's illuminating biography The Life and Times of Jo
Mora tours the works of one of the most productive, multitalented
artists of twentieth-century America.
As a testament to, and investigation of, Mora's "never diminished"
creative drive, and as a contribution to a study of Western art,
The Life and Times of Jo Mora, like the work of Mora himself,
honors and dignifies its subject."--Joe Taylor "Foreword Reviews"
