Synopsis
Emily Carr (1871-1945) traveled to remote regions for inspiration for her art, vibrantly chronicling the rich culture of Northwest indigenous people and the dense forest of the West Coast. Carr’s spiritually infused work was controversial in its day; today she is considered a master of the style. This book reflects more than a decade of meticulous research and includes reproductions of over 200 paintings, charcoals, and drawings, as well as extensive quotes from the artist, who was also a writer.

Hardcover. Condition: VG, clean and sound. Tan cloth boards, no dust jacket. 223 pp. 50 bw, 132 color plates. This volume depicts Emily Carr's life from her birth in Victoria, B.C. in 1871 to her death in 1945, in 12 thoroughly researched chapters. Also includes a list of plates and photographs, reference notes, and bibliography. Contains numerous beautiful illustrations, many of them full-page. A wonderful introduction to the artist and her art. Flawless prose, splendid reproduction, handsome design-an apt showcase for the artist who painted some of Canada's most magnificent paintings.This book represents the culmination of Doris Shadbolt's long fascination with the work of Carr, a painter she views as one of the strongest and most individual of Canadian artists. It reflects more than a decade of meticulous research, and excerpts form Carr's own prolific writings have been skillfully woven into the narrative, combining with exquisite reproductions of over 200 paintings, charcoals and drawings, two thirds of them in colour, almost all of them specially photographed for this book.Never swallowed by the mainstream in art. Emily Carr remained extraordinarily loyal to her inner vision. The world she created lingers persuasively in the Canadian psyche. Seller Inventory # 12056000001
