FROM THE INTERNET: The story of how Grandma Moses took up painting as a recreation when she was in her 70's, of how she was "discovered" when she was in her 80's and how, by the time she was 90, she had become an international celebrity. Anna Mary Robertson Moses, or Grandma Moses, was an American folk artist. She began painting in earnest at the age of 78 and is a prominent example of a newly successful art career at an advanced age. Grandma Moses’s bucolic landscapes with sturdy farm buildings, rolling hills, and small, simply rendered figures evoke a world that existed primarily in her imagination. She felt strongly that art should present only pleasant scenes and subjects, asking, “What’s the use of painting a picture if it isn’t something nice?” Grandma Moses was one of the most famous folk artists of the twentieth century.
