Description
About the Book
No artist has expressed the mood, mystery, and soul of Canada's west coast as Emily Carr did in her landscape art and novels. This biography captures the originality of mind, fierce and independent spirit, and extraordinary productivity of a woman who defied convention to follow her dream. With a narrative that is at once sympathetic and penetrating, acclaimed writer and historian Maria Tippett chronicles Carr's struggles, wide travels, and achievements.Book Synopsis
This classic of Canadian art biography, which won the Governor General's Award for Nonfiction, is a remarkable portrait of one of Canada's greatest artists.
Emily Carr's life was filled with tension, between the conventions of society and her own originality, between her relationships with others and her often lonely struggle to overcome obstacles, between happiness and despair. Acclaimed writer and historian Maria Tippett has captured the essence of this complex life, weaving a narrative that is at once sympathetic and penetrating.
