MessageCollection: Henry Eric Bergman (1893-1956)
Henry Eric Bergman (1893-1958) was a German-born commercial artist who immigrated to Canada in 1913. A skilled wood engraver, he worked for Brigden's Limited in Winnipeg and contributed to the Eaton’s catalogue. Known for his black and white wood engravings, Bergman also worked in pencil, watercolour, oil paint, and colour woodblock printing. His subjects included Winnipeg, rural Manitoba, Lake of the Woods, and Banff, often inspired by nature, music, and urban landscapes. A founding member of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and past president of the Manitoba Society of Artists, his work is held in several major collections, including the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada. Bergman passed away in Winnipeg in 1958.
