After 500 years of endless death Quynh still perseveres in her sapphic pining.

Today we mourn the passing of Moe Brooker, one of Philadelphia’s own creative titans whose prolific painting and printmaking were matched by his generative role as a mentor and teacher to many. Known for his lyrical abstract paintings and prints, Brooker’s works dazzle with bright, electric colors accented with dynamic lines evoking the spontaneous, rhythmic feeling of jazz. In his painting "Present Futures," planes of color vibrate while scribbled and scrawled details draw the eye closer, like the interplay between melody and component chords. Brooker’s vibrant spirit and presence will be missed in our city and beyond.
