The gallery has represented Moses ever since...The Galerie St. Etienne, founded by Otto Kallir, a Viennese emigré, specialized in modern Austrian masters... Kallir, like many of the pioneers who championed modernism in the pivotal decades between the two world wars, was also interested in the work of self-taught painters....In 1946, Kallir edited the first monograph on the artist, Grandma Moses: American Primitive, and oversaw the licensing of the first Moses Christmas cards. Both projects proved so successful that the following year the book was reprinted and the greeting card license taken over by Hallmark."- Special thank you and acknowledgment to Galerie Etienne.
