Stewart Moskowitz (born July 6, 1941 – May 23, 2017) was an American artist, illustrator, and children's book author. His pop art style paintings gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s through the sale of posters and prints.
He was born in 1941 with a drive to create art which never left him. With his exquisite sense of design he worked day-and night-in his studio exploring the possibilities of acrylic on canvas. He produced a vast and far-ranging body of work that reflected his deep and profound sense of humor. Stewart's first influences came from his father, a house painter and wood sculptor who carved intricate dioramas. In the late 1950s, when Stewart lived at the Chelsea Hotel, he would go out at night to soak in jazz played by luminaries like Billie Holiday. He attended Pratt Institute and the Art Students League of New York. In Los Angeles the 1960's, Stewart studied at Art Center, and went on to receive his Masters of Fine Arts Degree from Otis Art Institute. His master's thesis, entitled "Animals in a Children's World," expanded on his approach of creating art with the simplicity and curiosity of a child, coupled with the knowledge of an adult.
