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 The Old Checkered House in Cambridge Valley Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson) Folk Art Painting
The Old Checkered House in 1860, painted in June of 1944, is a classic example of Moses’s all-American subject. The checkered house, located in a town not far from her farm, was originally an inn built in the 18th century and as Moses described, “It was the Headquarters of General Baum in the revolution war, and afterwards He used it as a Hospital, then it was a stoping place for the stage, where they changed Horses every two miles, oh we traveled fast in those days.”About the Posters
