Seventy Years Grandma Moses: A Loan Exhibition Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Artist’s “Discovery”
February 3 – April 3, 2010
Tracing the career of Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961), who in the mid-twentieth century was arguably the most famous artist in America, this exhibition features many of the paintings that established the artist’s reputation. Grandma Moses was one of a number of self-taught American artists “discovered” by the art establishment in the period between World War I and World War II. Moses’s feelings of home and hearth, pastoral villages, and lush rolling hills acknowledged American values whose relevance increased when the nation entered WWII. It was this characteristic of her artwork that struck a chord with the broader public before, during, and especially after the war.
