George Moore was born in 1916 in Skipton, Yorkshire, England. In 1920 he and his widowed mother moved to Wellington, New Zealand. He attended Wellington Technical College and the Elam Art School (today respectively parts of Massey University and the University of Auckland) before commencing work at a publisher, Whitcomb & Toombs, as an engraver and lithographer. During this time he produced large numbers of lithographic posters, refining his drawing style and experimenting with the medium. During WWII he served with the Royal New Zealand Air force, including in the Coral Sea campaign with the American forces. In 1950 he moved to Sydney, Australia, where he worked in advertising for the next twenty years. During this time he provided pro-bono poster work for the Aboriginal Welfare Development Association, the National Trust and the Independent Theatre, Sydney. He also travelled throughout the South Pacific and India and these trips continue to inform his work. In 1970 he became a full time artist. From 1976 to 1977 he taught drawing at the East Sydney Technical College, now the National Art School (NAS). In 1980 he moved to the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria before moving to Brisbane, Queensland, in 1987, Queensland. Since 2007 he has lived in Sydney.
