John Lysaght Moore (28 March 1897 – 8 June 1965)[1] was a New Zealand painter, printmaker, weaver and knitter.
[8][9] Moore moved with his mother to Wellington, then to Havelock North in Hawke's Bay.
[2] He served overseas in the New Zealand Medical Corps during World War I.
[11] When the Auckland Society of Arts held an exhibition of his watercolour landscapes in 1935, the New Zealand Herald commented: "He prefers to interpret nature in her more sombre moods, and his pictures for the most part are subdued in colour, soft greens, greys and blues predominating, with warm brown occasionally used in the foregrounds.
"[12] Moore bought a house in York Bay in Lower Hutt in 1937, but did not move from Havelock North until 1947, after which he lived in York Bay with his older sister Evelyn.
