The artwork titled “Model T” is a genre painting created by Maud Lewis in 1962. It is part of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement.
The artwork depicts a vintage automobile, specifically a Model T, with two individuals seated in it. The painting employs bright and vibrant colors, with the figures and car placed on a curved road. Surrounding this central scene are quaint, picturesque elements including a white house with a red roof off to the left, a vibrant garden of flowers, lush green landscape, and trees. The simplistic and charming style typical of Naïve Art is evident in the use of bold outlines and basic shapes, emphasizing a sense of innocence and directness. The painting also includes Maud Lewis’s signature in the lower right corner.
