"Grandma Moses was a true artist--too good to be true, but true all the same, and truer and truer the more you think of her."--The New York Times Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961), after 60 years as an upstate New York farm wife, became celebrated in the international art world as Grandma Moses. She is without a doubt the most famous American folk painter of the 20th century, and arguably the greatest.With a palette of pure colors and a true vision, Grandma Moses presented memories of her girlhood in meticulously painted scenes of a long-since-vanished rural America. Her renderings of farm life and holiday revels and her seasonal landscapes abound in charm untouched by sentimentality. Her work belongs to a long and rich tradition of American folk art.In this new volume, 25 of Grandma Moses' finest works are reproduced in poster-size colorplates. A number of close-up details, as well as photographs of the artist and her family and vivid quotations in her own words enhance the images.Author Jane Kallir is the foremost living authority on Grandma Moses. Her grandfather, Otto Kallir, was one of the first to recognize Grandma Moses' talent. Kallir's introductory text brings an extraordinary artist to life, and individual commentaries explain each work.
