Collection of the Artist
By descent to the present Private Collection, Winnipeg
Regina Seiden studied under William Brymner and Maurice Cullen, and was an early member of Montreal's Beaver Hall Group. As a woman from a Jewish immigrant community who was working in a male-dominated discipline, Seiden established herself as a unique artist with her Impressionist use of colour and her celebration of femininity: her subjects were predominately landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits of women who, though constrained by expected societal roles, exhibit a sense of grace and individual character.
Seiden’s work has recently been featured in the exhibition Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment (June 2022 – January 2023), circulated by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection with the support of the National Gallery of Canada.
