"CRYSTAL BRIDGES - GRANDMA MOSES: A GOOD DAY'S WORK"  RSVP

Grandma Moses: A Good Day’s Work repositions Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses (1860-1961) as a multi-dimensional force in American art, whose beloved painted recollections of rural life earned her a distinctive place in the post-World War II cultural imagination. Moses spent the majority of her life in rural New York and Virginia working as a housekeeper, farmer, and mother, occasionally painting or embroidering in her spare time. She was 80 years old in 1940 when she stepped tentatively into the limelight with her first solo exhibition. Moses wielded creativity, hope, and unity as tools for shaping a life that she would later reflect on as “a good day’s work”. Lunch at the Catfish Hole is included in the cost.
