Anna Mary Robertson ("Grandma") Moses:
Grandma Moses is one of the most important
self-taught artists of the 20th century. However, unlike John Kane,
Horace Pippin, Morris Hirshfield and other such artists of her
generation, she achieved a celebrity that far transcended the normal
boundaries of the folk-art field. In the immediate post-World-War-II
years, Moses was one of the most successful and famous artists in
America, and possibly the best known American artist in Europe. Featured
on radio, television and in mass-market publications, she was arguably
the first artist to become a media superstar. Grandma Moses invented a
unique style that proved enormously popular, and its influence may be
seen in art and illustration to this day. The Galerie St. Etienne mounted Grandma Moses's first one-woman exhibition in 1940 and represented her for the remainder of her life. Since the artist's death in 1961, the gallery has represented her estate. |
