Grandma Moses might be the most famous folk artist in U.S. history -- and her work is sure to warm our hearts at the end of what can only be described as a really, really tough year. *Grandma Moses: A Good Day’s Work* sheds new light on a beloved body of work by Anna Mary Robertson [​“Grandma” Moses](https://americanart.si.edu/node/8677) (1860 – 1961). Grandma Moses used creativity, hope, and togetherness as tools for shaping a life that she metaphorically likened to ​“a good day’s work.” Moses melded direct observation of nature and personal memories in her works, resulting in idiosyncratic, yet compelling, stories of America. The artist’s fame made her a polarizing figure — beloved by the popular press and American public but belittled by the art world and critical press. This exhibition introduces the artist to new generations and examines her legacy in the context of America today.

After the art, we'll go to the nearby Peet's Coffee shop for warm drinks and mingling, time permitting.
