| General Description : | From the Souvenir sheet In the age of the landscape painting, when little credibility was given to the female artist, Montréal-born Prudence Heward (1896–1947) broke popular artistic trends and gender conventions, gaining unusual distinction as a representational figure painter. Well aware of woman’s then-marginal place in the art world, Heward’s works examine and redefine the female artist. Her studies of strong, serious, defiant women set in metaphorical landscapes made her one of the most celebrated artists in Canada during the first half of the 20th century. As part of Canada Post’s ongoing Art Canada series, a set of commemorative stamps will be issued featuring two of Heward’s masterpieces: At the Theatre (1928) and Rollande (1929). |
