This $20 fine silver coin is the second in the series of seven coins and depicts one of Arthur Lismer's paintings "Nova Scotia Fishing Village". Royal Canadian Mint engravers have reproduced his memorable image of the working life in a fishing village with lobster traps, weights, buoys, barrels, drying racks, fisherman, shacks and all the tools of maritime life.
Arthur Lismer was one of the original members Group of Seven. His painting "Nova Scotia Fishing Village" was completed in 1930. During his long career as a painter, Arthur Lismer traveled across Canada and in 1930 painted in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia where he painted some of his most enduring works.
Lismer utilized raw colour, heavy impasto (the thick application of paint) and deliberate coarse brush strokes to create his distinctive works.
