Join us for a gallery talk to explore themes in the exhibition Grandma Moses: A Good Day's Work led by Leslie Umberger, senior curator of folk and self-taught art and Katherine Jentleson, senior curator of American art and the Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art at the High Museum of Art. This talk will delve into Moses’s core themes of labor, community, and memory, and the ways in which Moses appealed to the public post-World War II by looking back at a younger, more rural America.
