Organized as a companion to Helen McNicoll: An Impressionist Journey, this exhibition highlights the work of women artists who, like McNicoll, were at the forefront of Canadian art in the early 1900s.
Drawn entirely from the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s permanent collection, this selection highlights the work of some of Canada’s most ambitious modern artists. Among the first generation of professionally-trained artists, they adopted modern styles of painting, bringing new artistic approaches to Canada, including Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
