Out for the Christmas Treesby Grandma Moses
Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses), a familiar and beloved American primitive folk artist, died on December 13, 1961, at the age of 101.Grandma Moses became famous as a self-taught painter in her seventies. Her work focused primarily on seasonal and holiday scenes of American country life. In fact, folks believe Grandma Moses completed her first painting at age 76.
From then on, the beloved folk artist painted nearly every day, even after severe arthritis made this process painful for her.
