One of the best-known artists of her time, and a true American legend, Anna Mary Robertson \"Grandma\" Moses (1860-1961) was often marginalized as a latter-day \"folk\" painter or a phenomenon of popular media. Accompanying a traveling exhibition, this new book looks closely at the paintings themselves and the artist's compelling biography to reassert her role in the development of a culture of modernist art at mid-century. Presenting fresh research, several scholars examine Moses's name, public persona, painted world, and wildly popular place in American pop culture; address the myth of the self-taught artist; and contextualize her work alongside such contemporaries as Horace Pippin, Elie Nadelman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Morris Hirshfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Denenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of the Shelburne Museum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Wolterstorff\u003c\/b\u003e is the director and \u003cb\u003eJamie Franklin \u003c\/b\u003eis curator at the Bennington Museum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiana Korzenik \u003c\/b\u003eis professor emerita at the Massachusetts College of Art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlexander Nemerov\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of art history at Stanford University.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10.7 x 10.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 14, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758018560288,"sku":"9780847849239","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/488c685157f3508b7bc2efea78c5bf41.webp?v=1780116669","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/grandma-moses-american-modern-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
