About
Henrietta Mabel May RCA (September 11, 1877 – October 8, 1971) was a Canadian artist in the early 20th century, an organizer of two significant groups of Canadian artists, and someone who extended collegiality to women within those groups. Based in Quebec early in her career, she worked as a teacher associated with the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario for a decade, returned to Quebec, and ended her career in Vancouver, British Columbia. A well-known painter, she worked with or organized groups including the Art Association of Montreal, the Beaver Hall Group and the Canadian Group of Painters. Her works are in the collection of the Canadian War Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, the Musée des Beaux-Arts Montréal, Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, the Vancouver Art Gallery and other, smaller galleries. One art critic referred to May as the "Emily Carr of Montreal" due to her interest in landscape and nature. Her art was originally influenced by her avid interest in French Impressionism, but her mature style owed much to the Group of Seven and more international modernist trends.
