Free July 4th activities at Hunter Museum

About Grandma Moses:
Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses has remained in the public eye since her first exhibition (at the age of 78) in 1938, at the Museum of Modern Art. In a period enthralled by Americana, Grandma came to represent a significant “primitive” strain in American artistic expression. At the same time Moses was wildly popular: her biography as a farm wife painting at her kitchen table was endlessly repeated.
Grandma Moses: Grandmother to the Nation will put Moses’ work in context to account for its immense popularity. The exhibit will focus on such topics as: Grandma and Regionalism, Women’s Work, Grandma Meets Norman Rockwell, Grandma Fights the Cold War, Grandma Products and Grandma as Celebrity.
Grandma Moses: Grandmother to the Nation is organized by the New York State Historical Association. This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
