Granma Moses (1860-1961, real name Anna Mary Robertson) was born in the northwestern part of America and made living by agriculture with a husband, but I came to make an embroidery picture from about 72 years old before long at the time when I became vacant and came to picture a picture from about 75 years old. Her picture which described the scenery of the countryside and the living of people in a simple touch carefully comes to cause reputation before long, and it is opened, and the first private exhibition continues being loved with a nickname of “Granma Moses” (Moses grandmother) at the age of 80 years old afterward at an art gallery of New York up to the present age in 1940 by many people.
At this exhibition, you borrow 25 points of precious Granma Moses works from SOMPO JAPAN Seiji Togou Museum having domestic the largest Granma Moses collection in particular, and, please fully thoroughly enjoy the charm. In addition, including Seiji Togou (1897-1978) who won popularity by a woman image full of the poetic sentiment in Masami from art museum collection in total, I introduce great master of the Impressionists, Pierre = Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Georges Rouault (1871-1958) who continued picturing the deep world that is psychogenic, and rose, great master who is greatest in the 20th century, masterpiece of the modern painting by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and others, approximately 80 points.
