"Montreal in Winter," Helen McNicoll, 1911.

McNicoll (1879-1915) was a Canadian Impressionist painter. Her career was brief, only about a decade, but her impact was huge, bringing Impressionism to Canadian art and being the most notable woman Canadian artist of the early 20th century.

Born to a well-off family, with a father who sketched and a mother who painted china and wrote poetry, she seemed destined for the art world. She was mostly deaf, thanks to a bout of scarlet fever as a tot, and some feel she took to art as a way of communicating.

She studied in Montreal and in Europe, she was also a student of Canadian artist William Brymner, who encouraged his female students to pursue careers and be independent, which she certainly was.

She popularized Impressionism in North America and inspired other artists. She sadly died young, from complications of diabetes, but her work is still popular and fetches enormous prices.

From a private collection.
