In Jon Moscow’s reductive paintings from the series Half Stories for Complete People , human legs and their accessories are truncated into crude shapes. A wide, pink vertical stripe is roughly painted down the center of a white canvas, a small thin blue line appears as the profile of a trainer, below that a horizontal brown line becomes the sole of the shoe, finally the ground is suggested at the bottom of the canvas with a second horizontal line of paint, this time grey. Each minimal mark helps to define the next in this pared back representation.
