Grandma Moses: Zitate auf Englisch

“I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.”

Grandma Moses : My Life's History (1951)
Kontext: I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones, and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. I was happy and contented, I knew nothing better and made the best out of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

“Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.”

As quoted in New Leaves (1986) by Louise Matteoni

“I'll get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.”

As quoted in her obituary in The New York Times (14 December 1961) http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0907.html

“A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.”

As quoted in Grandma Moses, American Primitive : Forty Paintings (1947) by Otto Kallir

“If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens.”

As quoted in Grandma Moses, American Primitive : Forty Paintings (1947) by Otto Kallir
