How did Maud Lewis become famous?
1 Answer
Maud Lewis became famous after the media took notice of her art. In 1964, the Toronto Star Weekly ran an article about her, and the following year, she was featured in a news story that aired on CBC-TV's Telescope. Her notoriety grew further when Richard Nixon's White House commissioned two pieces from her during the 1970s. Shop a collection of art on 1stDibs.
