Happy birthday to Prudence Heward, close friend of the Beaver Hall Group and co-founder of the Canadian Group of Painters. At a time when women artists were rarely granted the same artistic status as men, Heward (1896 – 1947) was called “the very best painter we ever had in Canada” by A.Y. Jackson. She was renowned for depictions of strong female figures which had “brilliant acid colours, sculptural treatment, and an intense brooding quality”—though she also painted male studies, as in this portrait of her golf caddy.
