Review

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.

By A Customer
This review is from: Emily Carr: An Introduction to Her Life and Art (Library Binding)
The book was a great dissapointment , it is certainly not worth 25.00 I am sorry that I ordered it.....Emily Carr needs someone to do a worthy piece on her as she is one of the greatest canadian artist of the 20th century.......
