From black cats to iconic snowscapes, Maud Lewis paints our waking
dreams.One of Canada's most beloved folk artists, Maud Lewis was
famous in her lifetime for her brightly coloured and endearing
paintings of rural Nova Scotia. Working from her tiny, road-side
house in Marshalltown, she produced hundreds of small works that
captured aspects of rapidly changing country life. Until now, the
story of her difficult life has dominated the discussion of her
art: her triumph over her physical disabilities and poverty, the
harsh treatment she received at the hands of her family, and her
alliance by chance with her husband Everett Lewis, who enabled her
successful painting career over many decades.This book, accompanied
by an exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, will
examine the aesthetic achievements of Maud Lewis's paintings -- her
serial repetition of images and motifs and the dizzying variety
that she brought to the problems of picture making. From her black
cats and kittens, to her cart horses and oxen hauling logs, to her
quayside scenes of ships in port and the Maritime landscape in all
seasons, Maud Lewis made paintings that still delight in their
optimism and buoyant vitality.Featuring a comprehensive selection
of paintings drawn from leading Maud Lewis collectors in Nova
Scotia, Maud Lewis: Paintings for Sale offers a unique opportunity
to experience the range and depth of her work.
