Maud Lewis 1903 – 1970 Maud Lewis is one of the best-known of the "folk artists" working in Nova Scotia, Canada. Her simple paintings of the life that she experienced in Nova Scotia depicted scenes of animals, flowers and people with a simple directness and cheerful colours. In 1965 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation made a TV program about her work, and her national fame was established. She lived in a tiny 10' x 12' cabin in Marshal Town near Digby on the Bay of Fundy with her husband Everett. She lived without electricity or running water, and would help her husband sell fish from the old Model-T Ford he used for deliveries. Sometimes she would sell her little paintings at the same time. Her tiny cabin is now in the possession of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax, Canada. Text copied directly from: www.artnet.com/Artists/ |
