Prakash, Independent Spirit: Early Canadian Women Artists, 2008, page 96, reproduced page 239 Provenance:Galerie Walter Klinkhoff Inc., Montreal A.K. Prakash & Associates Inc., Toronto Private Collection, Florida Exhibited:Musée d'art contemporain des Laurentides, Québec, Alfred Pellan: La Modernité, May 14 - September 3, 2006 Prudence Heward was an extremely gifted figure painter. In the 1930s her innate skill and determination led her to create some of the most powerful yet sensitive figurative paintings in the history of Canadian art. Dennis Reid writes, "For the next ten years a slow but steady series of female portraits came off her easel, each displaying a more intense union of colour and form, reflecting personalities of vigorous individuality." A.K. Prakash praised Heward for her ability to explore "the psychological forces that animate the human soul. Painted with directness, Heward's portraits embody sensual relish for the battle of life." My Housekeeper's Daughter is a portrayal of a young girl, her strong expression emphasized by the dramatic shadowing on her face. A poignant scene, it depicts a dynamic moment between a mother and her daughter. The separate domains of family life and work are suggested by the artist through the positioning of the child and mother in the composition, part of a narrative that Heward leaves open to the interpretion of the viewer.

    Efa Prudence Heward 1896 - 1947 Canadian oil on board Farm Scene, Brockville 12 x 14 inches 30.5 x 35.6 centimeters Literature:Evelyn Walters, The Women of Beaver Hall, Canadian Modernist Painters, 2005, pages 49 and 51 A.K. Prakash, Independent Spirit, Early Canadian Women Artists, 2008, pages 96 - 103 Provenance:Family of the Artist A.K. Prakash & Associates, Toronto Private Collection, Toronto Prudence Heward was a member of Montreal's Beaver Hall Group which formed in 1920, and was known for both her strong figurative works and landscapes. In the late 1920s and 1930s, modernist influences appeared in her work, which exhibited a bold sense of form and a rich colour palette. Art historian Paul Duval called her "one of the most sensitive painters this country has known" and Group of Seven painter A.Y. Jackson stated, "In my opinion, she was the very best painter we ever had in Canada.....I wanted her to join the Group of Seven, but like the Twelve Apostles, no women were included." However, she was invited to show with them in 1928, to critical acclaim. In 1948, Heward was honoured with a memorial exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada. Heward often painted at her family's summer place in Fernbank near Brockville. In this outstanding painting, strongly modelled buildings create a looming, still presence animated by the waiting horse and cart and the stream of smoke. Light and dark contrasts invigorate the scene, with the bright yellow of the cart lighting a vivacious colour spark.
