The unique friendship between Ross Moffett and Edwin Dickinson lasted fifty-eight years until Moffett’s death in 1971. This lifelong relationship was defined as much by their centered association with Provincetown, as by their early years together as students of Charles W. Hawthorne.
Josephine Del Deo’s discussion of these intertwined careers is based on her personal knowledge of both artists and an informed overview of their work, especially that of Ross Moffett.

| Author Josephine Breen Del Deo brings to the subject of the lifelong friendship between Ross Moffett and Edwin Dickinson, an intimate personal knowledge of the two artists and a depth of understanding. Growing up in Michigan, she gained an insight about the region of the Midwest which was invaluable in her later writing of Ross Moffett’s biography Figures in a Landscape, published in 1994. Having lived in Provincetown since 1951, she has witnessed, and been an active participant in, the many transformations of the art community here and, together with her husband, the painter Salvatore Del Deo, was one of the first founders of the Fine Arts Work Center about which she has written the definitive history of it’s early beginnings. She has had a lifelong career as a poet and writer and, in recent years, has given lectures and readings on art and artists at the Payomet Tent in Truro and at several Cape Museums. |
