Anna Mary Robertson, called Grandma Moses (American, 1860-1961) Catching the Turkey, Thanksgiving Signed "MOSES" l.r., identified and dated "...June 23, 1944" on an authorized label on the reverse. Oil on Masonite, 18 3/4 x 24 in. (47.4 x 60.5 cm), framed (under glass). Condition: Natural pigment fluorescence. N.B. The painting at hand does not appear in the original Kallir catalogue raisonné prepared by Otto Kallir (Grandma Moses [New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1973]), because it came to light after the book was published. The painting will be added to a future supplement of the "Catalogue of the Works" and has been assigned the number Kallir 390a. Without any formal art training, Grandma Moses began painting in her 70s and had her first New York gallery exhibition at the age of 80. Based on her own experiences of life on the farm, her cheerful recollections of simple country life soared in popularity, propelled in part by nostalgia of Americans for the rural past. Her landscapes capture people involved in daily activities or annual events, such as in this work, Catching the Thanksgiving Turkey, an active and humorous task undertaken by a youngster in a red cap.
