Emily Carr

Shadbolt, Doris 1918- (Author). Carr, Emily 1871-1945 (Added Author).

Summary: "Doris Shadbolt, Canada's leading authority on Carr, as well as one of its distinguished curators and art historians, here reassesses the various themes of Carr's life, showing how this remarkable British Columbia woman, often working in artistic isolation, drew upon an unshakable inner vision to create magnificent works based on West Coast indigenous art and landscape. The 125 plates, some never before reproduced, help capture the essence of one of Canada's most compelling image-makers."--Publisher.
