Content & Subject

Children’s Chorus is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from the beloved Six Boy Collection by P. Buckley Moss. This charming artwork captures the innocence and joy of childhood performance, depicting six young boys standing proudly in chorus formation before a deep red stage curtain. Each child wears a crisp white shirt, black trousers, and a bow tie, reflecting both uniformity and individuality. Their expressions—ranging from eager to shy—convey the authentic emotions of children preparing to sing in front of an audience.

The work highlights Moss’s enduring ability to see beauty in everyday moments. Choirs and children’s choruses have long been treasured as symbols of community, harmony, and the simple joys of growing up. Through this lithograph, Moss honors not only music but also the bonds of friendship, shared experiences, and the stage of youth.

Style & Technique

Created as a lithograph, this limited edition piece demonstrates Moss’s signature folk art style—clean forms, soft textures, and a storytelling approach that elevates ordinary scenes into heartfelt keepsakes. The strong backdrop of red curtains gives the composition theatrical warmth, while the boys’ black-and-white attire creates striking contrast. Moss’s subtle attention to posture and facial detail adds life to each child, making the viewer feel as if they are part of the audience awaiting the performance.

The Six Boy Collection is especially prized among Moss collectors, as it reflects her affection for depicting children in groupings that emphasize innocence, companionship, and shared tradition.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Children’s Chorus is both nostalgic and celebratory. It evokes the memory of childhood recitals, school concerts, and the nervous anticipation of standing on stage before friends and family. Moss’s inspiration often sprang from the beauty of community life—church gatherings, choirs, family traditions, and school events. Through this work, she preserves the magic of youthful courage and the universal charm of children’s voices raised in song.

This lithograph is part of Moss’s broader vision: capturing the everyday beauty of American life and immortalizing it through art that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
