Sarah Jones, Curator of Jones Contemporary and Jones Auction House, presents a talk about Nova Scotia artist, Maud Lewis (1901-1970). We will explore Lewis’ technique, her approach to subject matter and landscape, what makes her work compelling to so many viewers and collectors, and how her life and work has been presented in media and within Canadian art institutions.
