Maud Lewis, Black Cats

Maud Lewis, Black Cats

Are you superstitious? This unlucky Friday 13th, we’re enjoying Maud Lewis’s line-up of black cats (which are often associated with bad luck), who stare out of the canvas at the viewer with beady yellow eyes. The painting sold in 2017 for $37K—five times its asking price. Lewis is often described as a folk artist and is known for her upbeat style. By the time of her death in 1970, she had covered almost all the walls of her house with paintings.
