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 Thomas Moses

，

the tenant of

hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children

，

of whom five survived; her

husband died in 1928.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery 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 businessman 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.

Her Best Pictures

ph

A. make her home beautiful B. keep active

C. improve her salary D. gain an international fame

B

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe

，

fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard

joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition

in New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he

，

and so ugly. I pitied

him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him

feel at home.

His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke

of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them

shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears

，

of his readiness to quote in

detail from any poet they could name.

Indeed

，

his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to

make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when

the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.

Upon arriving at the university that day

，

I found Wolfe alone in the large room which

served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did

not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall

，

and he only smiled

when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and

look around.

He stepped in

，

remained

no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me

what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room

，

leaving him in

the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single error

，

he gave the number of seats in the room

，

pointed out those

which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls

，

named the colors each student

was wearing

，

pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard

，

spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor

，

and

pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
