　　     Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters　　 of the United States, yet she had only just begun painting in her　　 late seventies. As she once said of herself: "I would never sit back　　 in a rocking-chair,waiting for someone to help me."

　　

　　     She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home　　 and was in a service until at twenty-seven, she married Thoma Moses,　　 the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten　　 children of whom five survived (幸存); her husband died in 1927.

　　

　　     Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery　　 (刺绣的) pictures as a hobby, but only changed 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 first sold at an exhibition,　　 and were soon noticed by a business man who bought everything she　　 painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art,　　 and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the　　 1930's and her death she produced some 2.000 pictures: careful and　　 lively pictures of the country life she had known, with a wonderful　　 sense of color and form.
