Grandma Moses Quotes
«A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.»
«Now that I am ninety-five years old, looking back over the years, I have seen many changes taking place, so many inventions have been made. Things now go faster. In olden times things were not so rushed. I think people were more content, more satisfied with life than they are today. You don?t hear nearly as much laughter and shouting as you did in my day, and what was fun for us wouldn?t be fun now.... In this age I don?t think people are as happy, they are worried. They?re too anxious to get ahead of their neighbors, they are striving and striving to get something better. I do think in a way that they have too much now. We did with much less.»
«What a strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday . . . I look back on my life a good day's work, it was done and I feel satisfied with it. I made the best out of what life offered.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«I look back on my life a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.»
Author: Grandma Moses
«. . . daydreams, as it were . . . I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.»
Author: Grandma Moses
