Thanks for the note. So happy to get this connection. I really thought Leo Moss was lost to obscurity. Excited that the story may continue to open up.
These/his dolls are a big deal and people are collecting and writing about these times. I’ve dealt with curators and authors who are clamoring for more
information instead of just rumor and speculation. It was an honor to x ray Leo’s creations and answer some simple questions. The show I participated in
originated at the Mingei Folk art Museum, in San Diego, had a tour in Europe, then made its way to New York City, at the New York Historical Society Museum
and Library. I’ve worked with several curators, authors and even a doll doctor on this journey. I hope you can fill in some gaps and historical photos would
be great. I can help introduce you and any material you can provide to a very interested audience. My personal e mail is: mrirad1@gmail.com
