Moses was eighty years old when Otto Kallir, a New York art dealer and recent émigré from Nazi-held Austria, introduced her to the world. \"Grandma Moses,\" as the press dubbed her, quickly became a polarizing figure, beloved by the public yet dismissed by the art world for her story-time scenes and lack of formal training. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on Moses's reflection on her own life as \"a good day's work,\" the book charts Moses's creative development from her earliest artistic efforts to the emergence of her signature style, revealing a multidimensional artist who fused direct observation of nature, labor, and personal memories to tell idiosyncratic yet compelling stories. It positions Moses as a central figure in the history of twentieth-century American art, a painter whose life and work bore witness to the Civil War, two world wars, and the civil rights era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated, \u003ci\u003eGrandma Moses: A Good Day's Work\u003c\/i\u003e captures the indomitable spirit Moses brought to her artmaking, conveying a candor and authority that still resonate today with the quest for a homespun American visual tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eOctober 24, 2025-July 12, 2026\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeslie Umberger\u003c\/b\u003e is senior curator of folk and self-taught art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where \u003cb\u003eRandall R.
