Philip Moore (1921-2012), a self-taught painter and sculptor, was one of Guyana’s most original and creative artists. He is remembered locally as the creator of the 1763 Monument. His work was held in high esteem beyond Guyana, sufficient to warrant a solo exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem in the 1970s and two stints as artist-in-residence at Livingston College and Princeton University in New Jersey.
This clip courtesy of Banyan Archive features Moore talking about his work in 1991:
