    I was lucky to see Maud's paintings at the McMichael Gallery in 2018. You cannot help but smile when you see her work. Primary colours and pure images, animals always in two's or three's. It evokes love and gratitude for the beauty around her.

    I have been painting for years. When I saw this
    Movie ABOUT Maudie Lewis, I was in awe.
    That's how I should paint, FREE, HAPPY, SIMPLE. I LOVE HER ART.

    It shows how years of physical pain and disability and living in hardship can visibly age people.
    I was very surprised to learn that Maud was only 67 when she died, but in this film footage, she looks considerably older in the face.
    She seems like she was a sweet person. Her artwork is so colorful and tells a story.
    I have arthritis for many years. It started in my early 20s with rheumatoid arthritis and developed osteoarthritis too. I have joint replacements and the benefit of modern medicine, which Maud did not have in her time. It is very difficult at times and is painful. I also draw and paint, and though my fingers and hands have arthritis, and my hands hurt. They are nothing compared to how Maud's were. You can see them in the film.
    Bless Maud Lewis for being dedicated and being so determined to create her artwork despite her challenges.
    I can only imagine how awful it was for Maud to have the birth defects she had along with the Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis during that era. Remarkable person.
    Another artist,
    Pierre Auguste Renoir developed Rheumatoid arthritis in his later years. For the last 20 years of his life, he suffered and became crippled with it. However, he still found a way to hold a paint brush sat in a wheelchair and painted.

    Growing up in Nova Scotia, one heard much of Maud Lewis. My dad had bought a painting of hers, which is still in the family. She was the inspiration of many, many "folk artists" to follow, but Maud was the "real thing."

    So extraordinary. Those final images in the clip, her body is so bent & her hands & fingers virtually immobilized by rheumatism, & yet she is excited to get painting on her canvas. She must have been in absolutely horrific physical pain, & yet she produced painting after painting that is an absolute joy to behold. Amazing woman, amazing artist.

    The crime of it all, Maude never got to know about her greatness nor did she cash in on it as so many have since her death, somehow people seem to think because she was an artist she liked being poor!

    • @bobofgloucester
      @bobofgloucester 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Patricia Sollows - no worry she did see $20 a painting (before she died) which is ten times what her earliest paintings cost. A funny story was that a local judge pulled his car over to look at the paintings and asked Maud how much and she raised two fingers then said "TWO". Well - the judge said "I'll be back again" then returned on another day, Again pulling his car over again he told Maud which two paintings he wanted then fanned out eight fifty dollar bills. A shocked Maud said "NO I MEANT TWO DOLLARS" .. That judge had one of the largest of ML collections. BTW $200 in the 1950's is worth over $2000 a painting today.
      I honestly think she knew she was good - the CBC brought fame in the early 60's. At hopefully the movie tells a story of perseverance, facing adversity, making a relationship work and making do with what you have but loving it.
