Kurzbeschreibung
Though fame came late to Emily Carr, today she is hailed as a major and influential figure in the history of Canadian art and as a writer of unique and extraordinary talent. In this book, Courtney Milne has taken the best of Carr’s writing about the land she loved and has matched it to a stunning selection of his own photographs of the West Coast.
In a vigorous and colourful post-impressionist style, Emily Carr painted the vanishing native villages and totem poles of her beloved coastal British Columbia, and later in her career produced beautifully lyrical paintings expressive of the spirit and rhythms of Western forests, beaches, and skies. She also poured her talent into books about her life and art, her love of animals and nature, her frustrations and disappointments, her many sources of joy.
An annual visitor to the West Coast, Courtney Milne has been making photographs with the words of Emily Carr in mind for close to 20 years. To put this book together he has collected his favourite quotes from Carr and combed through many thousands of his photographs to find the perfect image to match a chosen piece of prose. The result is a spellbinding duet of text and pictures from two gifted and sympathetic artists.

Emily Carr Writer and Artist
28. April 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Emily Carr, a true woman before her time. Think mid 1800's this artist and writer was not taken seriously as she was a woman, and women had hobbies, not passions. The 'Book of Small' is the place to start with her life as a child and was always considered 'different'.
Her books have won awards, and even when she became known as a serious artist, she shunned critics and people at large and hung out with her sheepdogs, cats, and her famous funny monkey. She was from Victoria Canada(excellent museum for her there in family home) as she is huge in Canada and unknown in the States. So, if you want to tune in to a very smart, eccentric lady, she is yours. Don't forget her artwork that is displayed in museums internationally. This book, Emily Carr Country illustrates photos of someone else that goes with her words, and it is done beautifully. But go look at the calendars and books at Amazon. You will love her! She loved the forest and trees and communed with them. Go see.
