Biography in Sound

Grandma Moses

von

Biography in Sound presents a radio portrait of Grandma Moses, the self-taught American folk artist whose paintings of rural life brought her wide recognition. The program offers a chance to hear her story framed as a biography, with attention to the life and work behind the familiar name.

Rather than a fictional drama, the series uses radio storytelling to explore notable people and their lives. This installment focuses on Moses and the experiences associated with her artistic career, giving listeners an audio introduction to an artist celebrated for scenes of country life.

The result is an accessible, documentary-style portrait: a blend of biography and sound that brings a public figure’s story into the intimacy of radio. It suits listeners interested in American art, folk culture, and the lives behind well-known creative work.
