Remembering Grandma Moses

by Beth Moses Hickok

$6.50 – $12.95

A portrayal, not of Grandma Moses’s primitive paintings, but the woman herself: a crusty, feisty, upstate New York farmwife and grandmother, as remembered in affectionate detail by Beth Moses Hickok, who married into the family at 22, and raised two of Grandma’s granddaughters. Set in 1934, four years before Grandma was discovered as an artist and soon gained national renown, the book includes treasured family snapshots, and an album of photographs that evoke the landscape of Eagle Bridge, New York, Grandma Moses’s home for most of her long life. The cover depicts a rare colorful yarn painting given to the author as a wedding present by the artist. Portraits of Grandma Moses: from 1947 and 1949; 9 historical photographs and 9 modern photographs in black and white.
