Jody Mussoff (born 1952 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American ceramist and artist, living in Virginia.
Mussoff was born in 1952 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1] She received her art training at Carnegie-Mellon University and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Her work was included in the exhibition Graphic Masters III, held at the Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum in 2010. [2]
Mussoff's brightly colored drawings [3] represent people and animals from her imagination. She uses a cross-hatching technique, and leaves much of the background blank. Her ceramics are earthenware, also brightly colored, decorated with people and animals. There is humor and a surrealistic quality to her drawings and ceramics.[ citation needed]
Mossoff's drawings have been described by The Washington Post as "technically brilliant", [3] while The Orlando Sentinel observed that her drawing's richly colored skin again stands out, although here to more quirkily psychological effect." [4]
The Baltimore Sun described her drawings as having a "degree of understated humor that keeps the message from becoming heavy-handed." [5]
Mussoff's work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art's Corcoran Collection, [6] the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, [7] the Princeton University Art Museum [8] Smithsonian American Art Museum, [1] University of Maryland, [9] the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts [10] Yale University Art Gallery, [11] the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Kunsthalle Nürnberg, and the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts. [2]
Mussoff is listed in major artist databases. [12] [13] [14]
