Farbelism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farbelism is a term used to describe the repetitive formula of color study unique to artist David Scott Moyer. Coined in 1992 with input from an admirer of his work during the Scottsdale Celebration of Fine Art who said, "I love how you put those little farbels on there!" Learning that "farbe" is a derivative of the German word for color, Moyer embraced the term and has since used farbelism as a label for his contemporary abstract work. In an interview with Numb magazine, Moyer described the pattern/formula as, "a non-repeating, organic pattern of interconnected curved lines." Comparisons have been drawn between Moyer's work and Islamic, Celtic, and Australian Aboriginal art.
