PEOPLE, Page 83Old Master
By MICHAEL QUINN
She is an 82-year-old grandmother from Kansas who turned
to art late in life, but one look at ELIZABETH LAYTON'S
drawings, and no one would be tempted to call her "Grandma
Layton." Her self-portraits reflect such contemporary curses as
homelessness, AIDS and racism. Layton is now the focus of a
one-woman show at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum
of American Art. She credits her artwork with ending a 30-year
struggle with depression. "If I don't get a chance to draw for
a while, I get cranky and my husband says, `Go draw a picture.'"
