The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis

Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was recognized and revered in her own lifetime, She offered her endearing images to the passing world through her roadside sign, Paintings for Sale and was rewarded by the enthusiastic response she received from both the community and tourists as well as from art collectors. The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis is an invitation to share once again with the world the perceptions of this celebrated Nova Scotia folk artist in prose, photographs, and reproductions of her works.

Secret Citadelshowcases Graeme Patterson's spectacular and intricate multimedia installation, exploring the trials and tribulations of male friendship through a four-part sculptural/video installation and an experimental stop-motion animated narrative. Here, guided by subtle gestures and intense interactions, an anthropomorphic bison and cougar create a bond that spans all stages of maturity, playful creativity bringing them together and violent awkwardness tearing them apart. Secret Citadelprésente l'installation multimédia spectaculaire bien connue de Graeme Patterson. L'oeuvre explore les vicissitudes d'une amitié masculine, en quatre tableaux vidéosculpturaux appuyés par une narration expérimentale sous forme d'animation image par image. Alternant gestes subtils et interactions intenses, un bison et un cougar anthropomorphes, rapprochés par une espièglerie créative, se lient d'une amitié qui résiste jusqu'à la maturité, avant d'être séparés par une brusque maladresse.

Our Maud: The Life, Art and Legacy of Maud Lewis tells the story of Maud's life, and traces her impact on Nova Scotia, her fame, the saving of her painted house, and the Nova Scotia folk art renaissance sparked by her example. The book looks at how Maud Lewis has become a role model for children with juvenile arthritis, her posthumous role in the creation of Atlantic Canada's largest art museum, and how her story has become known around the world, culminating in the hit feature film Maudie starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke.
