Title
Helen McNicoll: A Canadian Impressionist
Abstract
According to the author, Montreal artist Helen McNicoll (1879-1915) was "one of Canada's foremost impressionist painters." In 1899, she began her studies at the Art Association of Montreal, under William Brymner. From 1902 to 1904, she pursued her studies in life drawing and painting at the Slade School of Art, University of London. The author maintained that McNicoll's "paintings of children, workers, family and friends present a primarily female world, where the rituals of everyday life and the relationships between sisters, friends and family become the touchstones of her artistic voice... McNicoll positioned her art within the lived reality of her female world...."
