<i>A Beautiful World</i> by Grandma Moses Elegantly Framed Print. As the title suggests, <i>A Beautiful World</i> represents Grandma Moses' view of ideal harmony between humankind and nature. "I like pretty things the best," Moses once told an interviewer. "What's the use of painting a picture if it isn't something nice? So I think real hard till I think of something real pretty, and then I paint it. I like to paint old-time things, historical landmarks of long ago, bridges, mills, and hostelries, those old-time homes, there are a few left, and they are going fast. I do them all from memory, most of them are daydreams, as it were." An insightful art reviewer once wrote, "All art is in some sense an affirmation of life—an offering of the human spirit, however downtrodden, as proof that our thoughts and feelings are ever precious and sometimes beautiful. This is the essence of Grandma Moses' genius." 35 1/2 x 29 1/2. <b>$50</b>
