Isabel McLaughlin (1903-2002)
Tree, 1935

"Isabel McLaughlin’s Tree bears down on you. The unusual and engrossing perspective—a steeply upward view from the base of the massive tree trunk—is both a point of departure and a point of reckoning."

Yvonne McKague Housser (1897-1996)
Cobalt, 1931

Paraskeva Clark (1898-1986)
Myself, 1933

Considered among the most powerful figure paintings in Canadian art, this self-portrait is direct, self-confident, and elegant. Painting herself while she was three months pregnant, Paraskeva Clark challenged the social mores regarding the visibility and celebration of the pregnant female body in the 1930s. Exhibited at the 1933 Canadian Group of Painter’s exhibition, the work presented the artist as a strong, professional woman, boldly commanding the viewer’s attention.

Prudence Heward (1896-1947)
Rollande, 1929

Prudence Heward’s paintings of strong, independent models offer a new interpretation of Canadian women in the 1920s. Rollande’s thoughtful expression and no-nonsense posture, with hands on her hips and one leg thrust forward, shows that she is in complete control of her environment. Her placement outside of the fence is deliberate, serving to emphasize her independence and strength.
