Grandma Moses Vintage 1950s Autographed Color Photograph

About the Item

American painter Grandma Moses (1860-1961) was discovered by the collector Louis Caldor. At the time, Grandma Moses was bartering paintings at the women's exchange during the Great Depression. Otto Kallir, an art dealer, put some of her work on display at his New York gallery, Galerie Saint-Etienne. The paintings were well received and went on to exhibit in Europe and Japan. Grandma Moses only began painting later in life, as it was gentler on her arthritis-stricken hands than needlework. Self-taught, her art can be described as 'Primitive' or folk art, disregarding strict perspective. This rare candid photo of Moses, 3½" x 3½", shows the artist standing outside her home. The picture is autographed on the lower border in black ink, Grandma Moses. On the reverse, the item is stamped this is a Kodacolor print, Made by Eastman Kodak company. Week of Sept 24, 1951. Some light toning and fading. The signature is in excellent condition, very clear and crisp.
