Regina Seiden (1897–1991) was a gifted Canadian painter whose career reflects both remarkable early success and a long period of artistic silence before a celebrated late-life return to painting. Trained at the Art Association of Montreal under William Brymner, she quickly distinguished herself as one of Canada’s leading young figurative artists, earning national recognition while still in her twenties. Closely associated with Montréal’s progressive artistic circles, Seiden became known for portraits, interiors, and genre scenes distinguished by their technical refinement and quiet psychological depth. Although she largely withdrew from painting after moving to Paris with her husband, violinist Eric Goldberg, her rediscovery in the 1970s reaffirmed her place among the pioneering women of Canadian modern art.
