Emily Carr (1871-1945)
Forest Landscape No.2, c. 1935

"As her medium loosened, [Emily] Carr found herself better able to register both the immediacy of her own perceptions and the fluidity of her response to them."

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."

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.

Lilias Torrance Newton (1896-1980)
Anna, c.1923

"[Lilias] Torrance Newton went on to make portraiture her specialty; she had to support herself and her young son during the Depression, since her marriage had ended in divorce after her husband’s bankruptcy and abandonment of the family."

Pegi Nicol MacLeod (1904-1949)
A Descent of Lilies, 1935

"A Descent of Lilies embodies the smoky, liminal space between night dreaming and daydreaming. [...] Full, weightless forms glide fore and aft, gently drifting down and up like characters on a merry-go-round."

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.

Yvonne McKague Housser (1897-1996)
Cobalt, 1931

"[... Yvonne McKague Housser's] tightly packed daybreak scene reminds viewers that the town of Cobalt was shoehorned into a less-than-thirteen-square-kilometre area that provided roughly one-eighth of the world’s silver at its peak of production in 1911."
