Martha Farham Cahoon, who died at age 94 in December 1999, was the grandmother of primitive painters on Cape Cod. She was born of Swedish immigrants in Roslindale in 1905, and her family moved to Harwich when she was 10. Although her high school teachers encouraged her to attend college, Martha instead apprenticed to her father, Axel Farham, a talented furniture decorator, and worked with him for 10 years. When she married Chatham native Ralph Cahoon in 1932, she passed on her knowledge of the trade to him. In the early 1950s, Joan Whitney Payson, the owner of a Long Island art gallery, encouraged the Cahoons to paint their folk scenes as pictures that could be framed. She quickly sold their first efforts at easel painting and soon gave them a two-person show - the first of many sell-outs. The Cahoons were happy to abandon the drudgery of refinishing old furniture and concentrate on their artwork.
