ARTIST
Cyril Hirtle (1918-2003) was a painter from Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia where he lived his entire life. Hirtle began painting around 1990 when he was in his early 70s. His paintings are recognizable for their lack of perspective, and consist primarily of fishing and farming scenes. Although he has become one of Nova Scotia's most highly regarded folk artists, Cyril was not very prolific, and in his most productive year completed only 15 paintings. It is estimated that his entire body of work totals fewer than 100 paintings.
