๐ฒ CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Maud Lewis's "Horse Hauling Logs" honors the working animals that powered Maritime forestry before mechanization transformed rural industries. Lewis's father, John Dowley, was a blacksmith and harness maker in Yarmouthโthe very craftsman who would have created the leather equipment adorning horses like these. This painting carries deep personal memory of her childhood watching her father's handiwork in action across Nova Scotia's working landscapes.
By 1966, Lewis was painting under extraordinary circumstances. Following her 1965 CBC Telescope documentary, orders flooded her tiny Marshalltown cottage faster than she could complete them. Her advancing arthritis limited the range of motion in her hands, making each brushstroke more difficult, yet she continued painting with characteristic determination and joy. Expert Alan Deacon notes that works from this period are "thinly painted" due to her physical challenges, yet the colors remain strong and vibrant.
This hauling logs composition represents one of Lewis's cherished "serial images"โsuccessful subjects she revisited throughout her career with subtle variations. No two works are exactly alike, making each version a unique celebration of Maritime working life.
