My grandmother introduced me to Maud when she was in hospital with the broken hip. She was delightful. And yes, I recall the story of Everett coming in with a briefcase filled with cash and cheques. That was told to me by my grandmother, who was staying there daily, caring for her dying husband.
I just finished watching the movie. Such a great film. Great pair they were. This rightfully belongs to to Fred. I hope that someone will take on Fred’s case and he gets what Maud and Everette left him. It is rightfully his. It’s unbelievable and evil how greedy these horrible people are. Rest in eternal peace Maude and Everette Lewis
It's about 40 years since Everett passed, so the people who conspired and or began collecting the royalities have retired. They all should be called back to right a wrong. Lawyers are expensive, but isn't there one who will do it on a percentage basis? Other old cases against the government surface from time to time. This video needs more views. 11K after 10 months is not enough.
Dear Fred Trask, I am so sorry that this happened. I wish that there were something that I could do. I love your artwork, and I have four pieces currently… And they all lovingly remind me of Maude. I pray there will be a day where you will see everything justified… And that the wrongs will be made, right. You deserve that. They clearly loved and trusted you. Alison. Artist. NS. I will never look at AGNS again the same. How horrible.
Maud Lewis shared so much with the late artist Bettina Huggino. their art was their escape from a rough and tumble world. Bettina left us paintings so incandescent they outshone the sun!
The more upvotes, and the more comments, even simple ones, will cause YT to put this video on more "recomended" lists which will aid in more viewers. All 3 will help spread the news and maybe, hopefully, change something. Is a newspaper willing to ask AGNS their reaction to this video? Public awareness is a good thing.
I'd never heard of her before the film maudie she reminds me of My grandmother who was a brilliant cook/musician who had Parkinson's and horrible useless husbands
If she’s knew her daughter was alive she would of definitely left her daughter more then we could imagine. I hope who ever owns Maudies paintings and money they would give her daughter the ownership of Maudies blessings.
One huge issue here. Her name is Maud. Not the typical spelling. And at 7:56 she signed it "Maude". Why has no one picked up on this? And SO MANY documents. This man (and possibly others) tried very hard to prove the documentation of the rights/money to the "estate".
Hmm that’s interesting. Do you think all the documents are forged? I would hope he has a case for this because it seems it’s what Maud wanted no? Perhaps she chose to spell it differently at times as Maude?
PS Fred should have been more active (aka done something) back in 1979. That "duly filed" will never should have allowed later actions cutting Fred out. I'd have to watch again to understand how the "family" sold/gave licensing to the Society. The found daughter is the only heir, and I think she is gone now too . I did too many searches but did not write the results. 2017?
@@cademancaden I read your comments and I think they are worthy to be read by others. What disturbed me was her granting licensing rights for items she had not yet produced. it sounded funny OR should not have been done without an agreement and some compensation. There other thing is her inability to comprehend that stuff going out WET conflicted with her $5 a picture rational. (I find my sentence hard to express). When a ya-who (phonetic, since it sounds like a web site and youtube does not like web name), when a ya-who in Washington buys a pricture, someone should have told her $10 would be more fair. I'm sorry she existed on such a limited income. As for Freddy, you may be right. Yet, it seems he was a friend but could have, should have done more, much like the lady artist who was middlemaning the art. Both "befriended" her, there are degrees of friends. I had done all the research I cared to do so I will not bring up the gap between her death and the husbands and document discovery and anything semi-related like someone who claims "I lost the lottery ticket that someone else cashed" which usually was a con/scam. Thanks for sharing Caderman.

Thank you so much for sharing Fred’s story. I am sharing this with everyone. The AGNS needs to be held accountable.

Another heart breaking story of how greedy people steal from artists and profit off them... despicable.
I hope they do not do that to me 0:44
It's not just that it's how they all treat disabled people like me 3:21 they still do
What an absolutely amazing talented lady ❤
Wow. Shameful. This should be fixed and put right to how Maud herself wanted.
Wow...AGNS needs to answer some questions.
I thought only Brazil was inhabited by scoundrels...
apparently we are not alone
is there any way to help him-are there no attorneys in Canada? How about her biological descedants? Wow things are screwy there

Oh that's horrible! Clearly Maud and Everette wanted everything to go to Fred. I hope he manages to get something.

So sad. Sounds like Maud wanted him to be gifted her estate and legal documents were ignored.
I hope justice prevails for Fred.
Another quiet injustice! So sad!

How sad for Fred. All those greedy people should have to give all that back to Fred. There has to be a lawyer who can help.

Would have loved to have met her
This is so sad and so perverted. Shame on AGNS. Long live Maud and her naive love
Wow what a horrible people. Give everything to Fred,!!!
Did Maud really have a daughter?
His the son they (Maud and Everett) never had.😭
WTAF?!?!
