Title
How Many Artists Are There In The Family? The Career of Montreal Painter Regina Seiden (1897-1991)
Abstract
An examination of the life and works of Montreal painter Regina Seiden (1897-1991), who began a successful art career in 1915 but retired in 1930, shortly after her marriage to painter and teacher Eric Goldberg (1890-1969). Between 1913 and 1918 Seiden studied at the Art Association of Montreal under William Brymner, Edmond Dyonnet and Maurice Cullen. In 1921 Seiden spent a year in Paris where she studied at the Academie Julien. Seiden’s preferred media as a painter were oil and watercolour, and her works generally included the human figure in portraits and nudes. The author maintains that Seiden was compelled to choose between her marriage and her career in accordance with the patriarchal model of marriage promoted in her traditional Jewish upbringing, advocated in her education at a Catholic convent (Académie Marie-Rose), and reinforced by society at that time.
