100 Rs
Grandma Moses, byname of Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961) was an American folk painter who was internationally popular for her naive documentation of rural life in the United States.
She began painting in earnest at the age of 78 and is a prominent example of a newly successful art career at an advanced age. Her works have been shown and sold worldwide, including in museums. Her artworks are warmly reassuring and the simple realism, nostalgic atmosphere and luminous color with which Grandma Moses portrayed farm life and rural countryside won her a wide following.
In the 1950s more Americans knew the name of Grandma Moses than that of any other artist!

About An Old Mill In Winter Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson) Folk Art Painting
Moses passionately resented and resisted the patriarchal stereotype of women and girls being confined to the house, restricted, and dependent. Interestingly therefore, her own paintings omit indoor drudgery altogether and instead focus on the vast wonder of outside nature; they look beyond social expectations and instead gaze romantically towards the horizon. Her paintings give home to a constant hive of activity combined with a great deal of playfulness. Indeed, Moses was a pioneer and a visionary, staunchly independent herself and interested in better equality for all. Utterly self-taught with a directness of vision, her life and work illuminate the far-reaching power of one pair of practical, whilst also determined and devoted, human hands. Indeed, Grandma Moses came to embody a modern-day saint with her birthday recorded as a national holiday.About the Posters
