Regina Seiden Biography
(1897 - 1991) Canadian
Born in Rigaud, Quebec, she studied in Montreal under Edmond Dyonnet, William Brymner and Maurice Cullen. She studied in France at the Academie Julian and returned to Montreal where she married Eric Goldberg, noted Canadian painter. Her portraits and figure studies have an affinity with the work of Edouard Manet, French Impressionist.
She is represented in the National Gallery of Canada by two portraits and a study of two nude figures, acquired between 1919 and 1926. These canvases are signed Regina Seiden. She also exhibited frequently with the Royal Canadian Academy.
