Emily Carr: An Introduction to her Life and Art

$14.95

“Some can be active to a great age but enjoy little,” observed Emily Carr shortly before her death in 1945. “I have lived.” The impressive scope of Carr’s art and her life are the subjects of art educator Anne Newlands’ latest book. In a text that skillfully blends selections from Carr’s own writings with illustrated commentary, Newlands creates a delightful look at one of Canada’s best-known artists. Emily Carr: An Introduction to Her Life and Art will lead you to the West Coast, where Carr spent much of her life in a world of richly drawn First Nations villages and totems, dark, haunting forests, wild beaches and vast skies. There, you will meet the unconventional woman — “the little old lady on the edge of nowhere,” as she called herself — who helped define the face of Canadian art.
