Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as "Grandma Moses", turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself, and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939, a collector, Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world famous.
