{"product_id":"grandma-moses-isbn-9780847849239","title":"Grandma Moses","description":"A long-overdue reexamination of beloved American artist Grandma Moses, restoring her rightful place within the canon of mid-century American Art. One of the best-known artists of her time, and a true American legend, Anna Mary Robertson \"Grandma\" Moses (1860–1961) was often marginalized as a latter-day \"folk\" painter or a phenomenon of popular media. Accompanying a traveling exhibition, this new book looks closely at the paintings themselves and the artist’s compelling biography to reassert her role in the development of a culture of modernist art at mid-century. Presenting fresh research, several scholars examine Moses’s name, public persona, painted world, and wildly popular place in American pop culture; address the myth of the self-taught artist; and contextualize her work alongside such contemporaries as Horace Pippin, Elie Nadelman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Morris Hirshfield.\"'Moses is literally discovered by New York modernists,' says Denenberg, who, with Robert Wolterstorff . . . organized \u003ci\u003eGrandma Moses: American Modern \u003c\/i\u003e[exhibit]\" \u003ci\u003e-Hyperallergic.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Denenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of the Shelburne Museum. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Wolterstorff\u003c\/b\u003e is the director and \u003cb\u003eJamie Franklin \u003c\/b\u003eis curator at the Bennington Museum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiana Korzenik \u003c\/b\u003eis professor emerita at the Massachusetts College of Art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlexander Nemerov\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of art history at Stanford University.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305504264421,"sku":"NP9780847849239","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847849239.jpg?v=1767728426","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/grandma-moses-isbn-9780847849239","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
