Robert Moody's photographs in Vittoria Colonna represent the intersection of two of his passions?black and white photography, and mathematics. Subirachs's geometric sculptures are a fitting subject matter for one of Canada's most respected mathematicians. Moody studied mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Toronto, joining the faculty at the University of Saskatchewan and later, the University of Alberta. He is internationally recognized for his co-discovery of what are known as the Kac-Moody algebras, one of the significant advances in mathematics in the twentieth century. He is a winner of the Eugene Wigner Medal and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. He makes his residence in Victoria, British Columbia.
