Grandma Moses: A Good Day鈥檚 Work repositions Anna Mary Robertson 鈥淕randma鈥� Moses (1860鈥�1961) as a multidimensional force in American art, whose beloved recollections of rural life earned her a distinctive place in the cultural imagination of the postwar era. Moses was eighty years old when Otto Kallir, a New York art dealer and recent 茅migr茅 from Nazi-held Austria, introduced her to the world. 鈥淕randma Moses,鈥� as the press dubbed her, quickly became a polarizing figure, beloved by the public yet dismissed by the art world for her story-time scenes and lack of formal training.

Drawing on Moses鈥檚 reflection on her own life as 鈥渁 good day鈥檚 work,鈥� the book charts Moses鈥檚 creative development from her earliest artistic efforts to the emergence of her signature style, revealing a multidimensional artist who fused direct observation of nature, labor, and personal memories to tell idiosyncratic yet compelling stories. It positions Moses as a central figure in the history of twentieth-century American art, a painter whose life and work bore witness to the Civil War, two world wars, and the civil rights era.

Beautifully illustrated, Grandma Moses: A Good Day鈥檚 Work captures the indomitable spirit Moses brought to her artmaking, conveying a candor and authority that still resonate today with the quest for a homespun American visual tradition.
