Back Garden 1938

Prudence Heward's 1938 painting "Back Garden" depicts a row of houses seen from the perspective of a backyard. The artist's bold brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement, particularly in the fence that dominates the foreground. The colorful houses, rendered in hues of red, purple, and green, contrast with the lush greenery of the garden and the hazy sky, conveying a sense of the artist's distinct style. Heward's "Back Garden" is a captivating example of her interest in the everyday scenes of urban life, exploring the interplay of color and form within a familiar setting.
