PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Ontario


Maud Lewis is one of Canada’s most endearing Folk artists - the cheerfulness of her art evokes a sense of joy. She captured the pastoral elements of her home province Nova Scotia, painted from memory or the observation of scenes that surrounded her tiny home near Digby. This Maritime landscape of a quayside scene with lobster traps and fishing boats in port, is a quintessential depiction of Canada’s Atlantic coastline. Lewis rarely mixed pigments and would use bright, vibrant oil paints directly from the tube. Her primitive expression of perspective and distinctively playful composition is a key part of the appeal of her work, which expresses the essence of the Maritimes.
