Unframed. Overall 16" high x 20-1/4" wide. Earl Bailly (Canadian, 1903 - 1977) was active/lived in Nova Scotia, Maine / Canada. He is known for farm scenes, marine and coastal view painting. Bailly, the armless artist of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. When he was two years old, Earle Bailly was stricken-with infantile paralysis and lost absolutely the use of both arms. But the upthrust, the surge onward that has brought the human race the long way up from the beast, was strong in this fortune-marred son of Nova Scotia, and behind it was that craving for expression, that urge to express beauty as he sees it, which marks the artist. Yet what an agony it must have been for this boy, harried on one hand by the desire that was in him, and hampered on the other by the loss of the only organs with which the pictorial artist can give form to the thing he sees, as the years rolled over him and the long yearning period of boyhood left him a piece of flotsam on the shores of despair!
