Born in Greenwich, New York, Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses was an American artist who spent decades living a rural, agricultural life that she would later feature in her paintings. Moses began actively painting in her 70s and continued for the rest of her life. Previously she had little time for painting, as raising children and taking care of a farm were full-time jobs. As a child she was introduced to the world of art through her father, a farmer who occasionally painted. Moses became a household name by the mid-1950s when her paintings, rich in visual narratives that explored the everyday, were reproduced on popular holiday cards and domestic products from fabric to tableware. As an artist, Moses was also known for her use of tracers. She would clip out interesting images of objects, buildings, or people from magazines or newspapers and save them in a chest. Moses often took her clippings and traced them using carbon paper. She used these tracers and vivid colors to paint scenes recalling memories from her life or family stories. Moses was a pioneer of her day, painting with a unique style and finding inspiration in the world around her. She died at the age of 101, a world-famous artist.Overall size: 26 x 30 1/4 in.
