What a gem!... Carr's paintings are well chosen and beautifully rendered. (Lynn Gardner Stuff & Nonsense www.lynngardner.blogspot.com 200809)
Product Description
"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 unorthodox 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.

Biography with paintings of a fine Canadian artist, Aug 10 2008
By Irma Jean Crouch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emily Carr: An Introduction to Her Life and Art (Paperback)
Emily Carr as artist is outstanding, and her life is just as remarkable. The author describes her childhood in Victoria, British Columbia, and how she gradually found her artistic niche, primarily of nature and of the Native peoples of her area. Good choice of paintings to illustrate the author's analysis. Irma Jean Crouch, Saratoga, CA

This review is from: Emily Carr: An Introduction to Her Life and Art (Paperback)
This is the second book about Emily Carr that I have read. I also read her book, Klee Wyck. This book is a very good telling of her life and troubles. And it does it very directly. It is a short book but covers the subject well. There are many very good illustrations of her work included.
