Description

Grandma Moses American Modern reasserts her place within mid-century American Art, challenging long-held misconceptions about this beloved artist.

This new book presents fresh research and examines the paintings themselves, alongside Moses's compelling biography, to contextualize her work alongside contemporaries such as Horace Pippin, Elie Nadelman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Morris Hirshfield.

By addressing the myth of the self-taught artist and exploring Moses's public persona and painted world, this book sheds new light on a culture of modernist art at mid-century.
