Canadian artist Prudence Heward turns a familiar social scene into something psychologically charged. A pair of women are not decorative accessories on a gentleman’s evening out. They occupy public space on their own terms. That matters in 1928. The theatre becomes a modern arena of female independence, spectatorship, and self-possession, where women go not only to watch but also to be visible. 

Two young women sit side by side before a performance begins, seen from just behind, as if we occupy a row directly behind them. Their bare upper backs and necks catch a soft, creamy light that stands out against the dark theatre. Both wear black evening dresses cut low across the shoulders. The woman at left has a smooth, simple back, while the woman at right wears a dress with a sheer patterned panel that curls across the fabric in pale loops. Their chestnut-brown hair is parted and gathered into low, polished buns. The woman on the right turns slightly, her cheek and nose visible in profile as she holds a white program in one hand. Around them, other audience members dissolve into shadowy shapes. Deep red seat backs curve across the foreground with a midnight-blue garment partially over the right seat, while cool blue-gray walls rise in broad vertical bands on the stage.

The museum notes that the sitters may be Marion and Elizabeth Robertson, the sisters of Beaver Hall Group artist Sarah Robertson, which adds an intimate, almost insider quality to the scene.

Heward had returned from Paris only a short time earlier and was developing the bold, sculptural style that would make her one of Canada’s most incisive painters of women. Contemporary critics reduced the picture to “a study of décolleté,” but another praised its “originality” and “vigour.” That tension is still the point. The painting acknowledges the social gaze, yet refuses to flatten these women into spectacle. They feel alert, self-contained, and modern to be present in the crowd, but not absorbed by it.

Ordered art supplies, but they might take a month to come in. I had given up on this drawing because I made it too big for my attention span, but I literally have nothing else to do, so maybe I can get it finished! #drawing #art #canadianart

A drawing on paper. The left side shows tents within a typical Cylinder pattern consisting of wavy, black bands on a yellow and brown background. The pattern transitions to one on the left side consisting primarily of dark lines with little background colour.

77/150: Davie Atchealak’s shamans & dancing bears Davie Atchealak ᑎᕕ ᐊᓯᐊᓪ (1947- 2006) captures the rhapsodic energy of the drum dance in this 1989 sculpture (whalebone, antler, hide, overall 35 x 75 x 24 in — 88.9 x 190.5 x 61 cm) Few sculptors have been able to capture fluidity of posture or richness of anatomical detail with the apparent confidence and ease of Davie Atchealak. One of the great sculptors to come out of southern Baffin Island, Atchealak is particularly renowned for his expertly engineered dancing bears, and his exuberant, muscular shamans.

This is the late Inuit artist Davie Atchealak's ambitious, iconic Drum Dance, in stone, from 1989. #canadianart #inuitart #indigenous art
