Norris, Joseph (Canadian, 1925-1996) Coastal Landscape Oil Painting
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Norris, Joseph (Canadian, 1925-1996) Oil Painting - Coastal Landscape - Oil on canvas. Signed lower right Joe Norris 1985. In good condition. Measures 16 inches x 20 inches. Frame measures 22 inches x 26 inches. From blacksheepart.com: Joe Norris is described as "the Dean of Nova Scotia folk painters" and "the Matisse of folk art". Joe spent most of his life in the small hamlet of Lower Prospect, Nova Scotia. After working in the fishing and construction trades, Joe Norris started painting when a severe heart attack forced him into early retirement in 1972. By 1975, when he was "discovered" by antique dealer Chris Huntington, he was selling paintings to local people and to the occasional tourist. His work includes painted chairs, tables and chests as well as paintings, and is found in the collections of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and in many corporate and private art collections throughout North America. A hardcover book, Joe Norris - Painted Visions of Nova Scotia, was published in 2000, in conjunction with a retrospective of his work which toured Canada between November, 2000 and March, 2003.

JOE NORRIS FOUR SCHOONERS AT ANCHOR oil on canvassigned 24 ins x 36 ins; 61 cms x 91.4 cms Provenance:Private Collection, Nova ScotiaLiterature:Chris Huntington, "My Life with Joe Norris," in Bernard Riordon, Joe Norris: Painted Visions of Nova Scotia, Goose Lane Editions, The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, 2000, page 89.Note:The charming paintings of Joe Norris are synonymous with the Nova Scotian experience. Norris records the daily life and seasonal changes of a small fishing village - its inhabitants and animals, schooners and houses - all in the vivid technicolour of his small paint pots.As Chris Huntington writes, "Joe Norris is firstly an artist; secondly a folk artist. His work is bold, almost shockingly vibrant; it is cheerful, and as with most self-taught artists who are removed from the mainstream of society and its influences, it defines its own aesthetic. Above all, Norris' work is GOOD ART! We are less interested here in the quaint folk artist than we are in the strong painter who reveals a part of his special world."
