Prudence Heward (July 2, 1896 – March 19, 1947)[1] was a Canadian figure painter, known for using acidic colour, a sculptural treatment, and giving an intense brooding quality to her subjects.[2] She was a charter member of the Canadian Group of Painters, the Contemporary Arts Society and the Federation of Canadian Artists.[3] Although she did not show her work with the Beaver Hall Group, she was allied with many of its artists in her aesthetic aims and through friendships.
