One of Canada's great artists Maud Lewis, 1965: CBC Archives | CBC 

Who else is here because they just finished watching the movie Maudie?

Here in 2024... wonderful movie, beautiful soul

I’m here! Watching in 2020 after seeing the film....I cried through most of it. Maud is an exquisite painting herself....a living masterpiece that was here among us mortals. RIP Maud🎨🥁

I had never heard of Maud Lewis until I saw Sally Hawkins as Maud in the film recently at the Telluride Film Festival. Amazing actor portraying an amazing painter.

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.

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."

This woman stole my heart

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.

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.

Oh my just watched the movie maudie.....oh it broke my heart.....💔💔💔💔

Maud is such an extraordinary human being. I wish I had met her.

We just saw Maudie at the theater! Time well spent. It loved the writing, it was shot beautifully, and very well directed. I woke this morning thinking of it.

What a precious doll. 😍

Just saw the movie MAUDIE. Touching, inspirational. Truly a woman of courage, love, who used her God given talent to its fullest. She was a true treasure.

just came from The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia that had her actual house and multiple paintings to view. such an amazing thing to see

She was such a modest person and deserved so much more than what people paid for her paintings. Did they really adore her paintings or did they feel sorry for her disability? We will never know.

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.

Amei conhecer a história dessa grande mulher e artista.

Just saw the movie maudie today! Wow she was brilliant and never got the recognition or money she deserved. Sad story really😢

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!

loved the movie !

Just the movie and I cried a lot. It reminds me to be always grateful. Very inspiring! ILoveit so much

wonderful - so inspiring and sweet - Maude and her work!

I discovered Maud Lewis just today. Really an amazing artist and woman

I just saw the movie Maudie. It was truly moving. 🌹

I love you, Maud. I m from Brasil

here after finished watching maudie the movie at netflix in 2021..so touching, simply happiness but so full 🤎 beautiful happiness

She was especial lovely nice woman I like how was she living her simple life

i just finished watching..its a nice story

It's 2024 now and the movie was on a video on TikTok now I'm here watching this.Soon I will watch the movie.

Sad that she lived her entire life in poverty. She would be STUNNED to know what her paintings are fetching now. She was a remarkable talent.

Maud Dowley Lewis' paintings are beautiful.

Wow❤🌞🥰 so beautiful.

so sweet

Apaixonada por ela e pelas obras.

A simplicidade e' tudo! Ate' na arte.

My Grandmother told me of her when I was probably 12-13.Think there was an article in the Toronto Star around the time of her death.

Fantastic movie@

such a lovely lovely woman

If the movie, actors, directors, etc., are not at least nominated, those who have seen the movie,will be severely disappointed. I know I will most certainly be. I wonder if Maudie ever met her daughter or if her daughter ever realized who her mother was.

thankyou for the post maud lewis, they never copied others ie forgery/mimics, theres plenty of it out there which is not to say warhol is not valid or other living or dead artists, they did art their way no matter what the establishment/bankers, curators &c report, this is a honest and honorable form of expression, its always been this way, pioneers, curious is the way they are treated by their own during their lives amungst the living, i hope she was able to work for the trailer she so wanted

great film

Preciosa historia

She was talente.

Such a shame viewers at the time didn't get to see this in colour.

Who was the woman commenting on Maud's paintings and wants in life?

Just read about Maude on the BBC website.

If the community loved her that much why did they not get her one.

I THINK SHEETS WOULD BE CUTE BY MAUDE, THERES A MARKET FOR HER ART

super art 111

💓

one of er paintings are worth 1000 s of dollars, i wished maudie has got 100 dollar for one of her painting before she passed away..and not only 5 or 6

😮 the She

Why no sound?

I wonder if Maud's daughter ever met her birth mother.

😊

I could not get sound off this clip-seems there isn't any - for whatever reason, it's certainly a pity.

🥀Maud Lewis was born with severe disabilities added to the $financial hardships in🇨🇦Canada (under🇬🇧British rule). Canada is only 155 years old. Maud Lewis was born in 1903. Maud Lewis's🎨🖌work wasn't truly appreciated until after her death, sadly. 🌹I wish I had her💪🏻strength. Shame on Canada's CRTC, BBC & CBC for not promoting her work, while she was alive. There are many diamonds in the rough in🇨🇦Canada. 🙏🏻May Maud be🕊rip with Everett. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎨🖌💔✨🌎💫

Innocent as a baby she was..

These "sophisticated" people coming around giving Maude $5.00 for a painting? Shame on them!

Me

Greatest artists isnt saying much with this

She looks like every cartoon granny.
