“Barbara”, 1933, by Prudence Heward.“ One of the strongest paintings of children in Canadian art. One is struck by the expression on the child's face, that of a serious little girl intent on her deportment, doubtless expected to behave through each of many sittings.” J. Braide.

“At The Theatre”, 1928, by Prudence Heward. "I once asked old A.Y. why my Aunt Pru was excluded from the Group of Seven. 'Well, I guess we liked our brandy and cigars too much,’ he replied regretfully. He knew there was a prejudice against women artists.” Heward Grafftey.
