Title
An Educational Journey: Women's Art Training in Canada and Abroad, 1880-1929
Abstract
The author traces the educational journey taken by four English Canadian women artists at the turn of the twentieth century. The experiences of Laura Muntz (1860-1939), Florence McGillivray (1860-1938), Helen McNicoll (1879-1915) and Prudence Heward (1896-1947) are cited by the author as being emblematic of the experiences of other Canadian and American women artists of this period. The Ontario-born McNicoll attended the Art Association of Montreal, studying under William Brymner from 1899 to 1902, when she moved to England to study in London at the Slade School. The Montreal-born Heward also studied at the Art Association of Montreal with William Brymner, and for two summers with Maurice Cullen, sketching at Phillipsburg and Carillon. Following the First World War, Heward continued her studies in Montreal with Randolph Hewton, and then went to Paris to study at the Colarossi. In 1920 she returned to Montreal and joined the Beaver Hall artists.
