Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me. "No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born of Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of four boys and five girls.

Three of the pictures were exhibited in Museum of Modem Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death, she produced some 2000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for So long, with a marvelous sense of color and form.

"Fingers were made before forks." When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the early eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy did the custom reach Europe.
By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widely spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were against eating food touched with fingers. "Seeing all men's fingers are not alike clean:" English travelers kept their friends laughing while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the 1600% did using a fork become a common custom.
Answer the questions:
1. What was the fork used as before people began to eat with it?
2. Where was the fork widely used by the fifteenth century?
