Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated 20th-century painters of the United States,yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late 70s.As she once said of herself:“I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State,one of fi ve boys and fi ve girls (“We came in bunches,like radishes.”) At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until,at 27,she married Thomas Noses,the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives,fi rst in Virginia and then in New York State.
She had 10 children,of whom fi ve survived; her husband died in l927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby,but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were fi rst sold at the local drugstore and at a fair,and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her fi rst exhibition in New York.Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures:detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long,with a marvelous sense of color and form.
“I think real hard till I think of something real pretty and then I paint it,” she said.

【手工译文】
摩西奶奶是是二十世纪美国最著名的画家之一,她直到70多岁才开始作画.正如她所说的:“我永远不会靠在摇椅里,等着别人来帮助我.”没有人能够比她的晚年更为多产了.
她出生在纽约州一个农场里,原名安娜•玛丽•罗勃逊,兄弟五个,姐妹五个.(“我们一来一串,就象小萝卜.”)她12岁时离开家,一直帮佣,直到27岁时嫁给托马斯•摩西——她所帮佣的一个农场中的工人.他们一生中大部分时间都在农场,先在弗吉尼亚州,后来又来到纽约州.
她有过十个小孩,活下来五个.她丈夫于1927年去世.
摩西奶奶小时候画过一些画,还把刺绣画作为自己的业余爱好.直到老年她才转向油画,那时她的手指已经很不灵活,无法再做针线,想找些事情做打发时间.她的第一幅画作是在当地药店和集市上售出的,很快就被一位经销商看中,从此买下她的所有画作.
现代艺术博物馆中展出了她的三幅画作,1940年她在纽约首开个展.从二十世纪三十年代到她去世这段时间内,她共画了2000幅左右的画:用细致生动的笔触描绘她所熟知的乡村生活,色彩和构图都棒极了.
“我总是努力思索,直到想出一些非常漂亮的画面,然后再把它画下来.”她说.
