The Painting: Nova Scotia Fishing Village (1930)

[...]

In this painting, we see a robust example of Lismer's style in this era. Lobster traps, floats, weights, buoys, barrels, bags, drying racks, docks, fisherman, shacks, homes - the profuseephemera of maritime life are piled one upon the other, bursting fromthe canvas in layers of mesmerizing detail. The density of this worldof objects is emphasized in the rough, swirling character of the brushstrokes and the dizzying interaction of shapes. Together with the slightly off-kilter vantage point of the painting, these details evoke the fairytale quality of sea lore.
