This review is from: Grandma Moses (Life and Work Of...) (Paperback)

Adam Schaefer's book on Grandma Moses does an excellent job of incorporating the artist's work with the story of her life in a way that is essential when the artist in question is one such as this. The illustrations were cleverly arranged and wonderfully reproduced. A charming and lively outline of Grandma Moses' transition from farm wife to famous and successful painter is provided for the young reader, in a tone that is clear and simple without condescension. What this book does best of all is give a realistic portrayal of the way an artist is "discovered", and why Grandma Moses was so successful both during her long lifetime and afterwards.
