Emily Coonan (25 March 1885 – 23 June 1971) [ 1 ] was a Canadian impressionist and post-impressionist painter, born in the Pointe-Saint-Charles area of Montreal. As a member of the Beaver Hall Group, Coonan mostly did figure paintings. Influenced by William Brymner and James Wilson Morrice in early years [ 2 ] and later on by work done in Europe, Coonan's work has features that are related both to impressionism and modernism. [ 3 ]
