Product Description
Emily Carr (1871-1945) traveled to remote regions for inspiration for her art, vibrantly chronicling the rich culture of Northwest indigenous people and the dense forest of the West Coast. Carr's spiritually infused work was controversial in its day; today she is considered a master of the style. This book reflects more than a decade of meticulous research and includes reproductions of over 200 paintings, charcoals, and drawings, as well as extensive quotes from the artist, who was also a writer. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Kindred Spirit
When I first saw the name Emily Carr.It was on the side of a building for an art school, located on Granville Island in Vancouver B.C.. Upon returning, I did a little research then purchased this book from Amazon. Emily Carr, painted on her own and was not influenced by the cliches of groups or individuals.She found her own niche as a Canadian artist inBritish Columbia.It was not until later years that she would be discovered by the Group of Seven in the east, and there she stated finiding her kindred spirits in nature. I can only say, that like Frida Kahlo and Gerogia O'Keefe, Ms. Carr was a true individual.I've always been enamored by the Pacific Northwest.I very much felt at home in British Columbia.I'm truely happy to have found this artist.She is a must read and look, has much offer not only artisitically but as a woman who roamed alone in search of encapsulating the history of native peoples slowly fading away and the nature around her.I hope art history teachers will discover this female artist as well.And find room in their instruction.She has much to offer.She is my kindred spirit.

5-0 out of 5 stars an amazing and interesting artist not that well known in the united states
I heard about this artist from a friend.I also visited Canada recently, altho not in the area where Emily Carr lived.She is revered in Canada but not nearly as well known in the United States.I personally love her paintings.To me they perfectly respresent the times she lived in and her not so easy life.

5-0 out of 5 stars Keeping the PNW Spirit Alive
This is one of those books that is a must for any person interested in Pacific Northwest history, art, and culture. I first encountered Emily Carr at an amazing exhibit at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria. I have been a big fan ever since.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Art of Emily Carr- Doris Shadboltt
An incredible book fulfilling every Carr fans wishes.Truly a beautiful piece of literature and visuals. I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge the Author had of Ms. Carr and the extensive listing of pictures from private ownership and many Galleries.Contains a complete history of her life, travels, writing and of course her unwavering pursuit of success.An absolute must have for anyone who is a Carr fan.Thoroughly enjoyable.

5-0 out of 5 stars A West Coast Vision
If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of artists on this continent (North America), specifically the West Coast, I'd recommend this erudite volume on the work of Emily Carr.Emily Carr was a late-bloomer, but when she found her own she produced haunting canvases of her encounters with Northwest Coast Native Art, specifically totems.This was followed by strong formalized images of the coastal rainforest.Late in her life she painted expressive landscapes.I recently read that a joint exhibit of Emily Carr, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Frida Kahlo "Places of their Own" will betravelling to various venues in 200l/2002. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars "Short, Sweet, and Hard to Beat"
At 96 pages, this book charms without trying to be charming.The prose is beautiful, without unnecessary adornment, caring without being sentimental, and wise in its observations about life without preaching.I am always looking out for a 'sleeper'--a book relatively undiscovered and special-- that I can give my best friends, aged aunties, young moms, children, that is not trite or trendy or filled with the obvious.The sketches by the author reveal both depth of feeling and simplicity.

This was my introduction to Emily Carr, and a week later I'm half-way through her autobiography (Growing Pains) and looking up her paintings on the Internet.
Enjoy!! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Some of the best writing ever
Emily was an exceptional talent. I savor each story- and try not to go too fast hoping the book will not end. She is remarkable. I love her paintings, but the painting that she does in my mind may be even better! She brings even the most mundane event to life in living color. One of my favorite books is "I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith I Capture the Castle....I have been looking for another writer who can so vividly 'take me there' and Emily Carr is it. In her biography, it says she read very few books but her favorite was "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman- It shows.The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics)]

4-0 out of 5 stars Lovely!
Lovely stories of growing up in British Columbia, of the native Americans and her efforts to capture their art of totem poles.Humorously told stories by a great Canadian artist of the boarding house she opened and ranto make a living. Simple language with lovely metaphors.

5-0 out of 5 stars A visionary before her time
Emily Carr has been a most critisized and misunderstood woman of her day.Born in the late 1800's. She did not fit the mold of the Victorian woman. Instead of staying home, raising children, and attending social functions,she befriended the often shunned Native population of Canada, most notablythe Queen Charlotte Islands. She traveled to remote places by way of canoewith the Natives of the land. There, she lived in their homes, sketched andeventually painted their totems, their people.She captured their spirit,both in her heart and on canvas. Emily's art was not acceptable to theVictorian art patrons as women were not "real" painters - it wasa mere hobby. She was not taken seriously. She always heard and saw whatmost people could not.She inhaled the woods, the land, and the Nativepeoples. She followed her own mind and heart, which put her in a positionof being called "difficult". Emily Carr is still a breath offresh air, a maverick of her day. Her view of the world, and how shetranslates a forest into words and canvas is truly an amazing experience. Her books will give you a walk through the forest, her life as a child, andher views on people as well as her affinity with the Native population.Emily will open your world up into a new appreciation for life itself. ...

Product Description

Emily Carr was one of the few famous women painters of her generation, and today her work is being exhibited with and compared to that of Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo. In this original picture book, Nicolas Debon traces Carr’s life through four of her best paintings. The first part, named after the painting Cedar House, shows her first sketching trip to a remote village, where she discovers West Coast native life and art. Autumn in France depicts Carr at work in a Paris art studio and immersing herself in the "New Art" of Chagall, Matisse, and Picasso. In Silhouette, her paintings are exhibited at the National Gallery and she meets with artists in the Group of Seven. Finally, in Beloved of the Sky, Carr reaches her full potential as an artist.

Debon’s illustrations perfectly capture Carr’s determined, eccentric character and the times she lived in. Readers will be delighted with the depictions of the streets of Paris, Carr’s caravan and pet monkey, and the natural world that inspired her.

Product Description
The legendary Emily Carr was primarily a painter, but she first gained recognition as an author, writing seven popular books that were also critically acclaimed about her journeys to remote Native communities and her life as a child in tumultuous Victoria, British Columbia at the start of the 20th century. A Book of Small collects 36 stories based on her frontier beginnings and stars a colorful cast of friends, family, neighbors, and strangers, from genteel socialites to saloon ruffians — all seen through the eyes of a curious, irrepressible girl. A constant throughout the book is Father, an unforgettable eccentric whom Carr portrays with telling humor. Carr's writing is as highly regarded today as when she was first published. In print continuously since its first publication in 1942, A Book of Small appears here with a fresh new design and an introduction by Sarah Ellis that offers historical and literary context for the book and its author. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A Victorian Era Gem
I read this second, after 'Growing Pains the autobiography of Emily Carr'. If I was to compare the two, they're really quite different. This memoir is seen through Emily's childhood years in Victoria, BC. Little stories of herself, her parents, sisters and pets, told with innocence and some humor. The book incorporates Victoria itself, the changes it went through and it's evolution as a British colony. It's like another character.

It's only a little book, but was an absolute pleasure. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys history (Emily was born in 1871) or who knows Victoria B.C Canada, as a lot of places are named and described. For those who want to read about her art, this isn't the book because it's focused only on her childhood years. ... Read more

Product Description
The brilliant artist Emily Carr lived at the edge. When she was born, in 1871, Victoria, British Columbia was a small, insular place. She was at the edge of a society that expected well-bred young ladies to marry. For years, she was at the edge of the world of artists she longed to join.

Emily Carr’s life was not an easy one. She struggled against a family that did not approve of her art and against poor health. She found her pleasures in her many pets – a Javanese monkey named Woo, parrots, and many beloved dogs. Later, she would meet the artists of the Group of Seven and among them find her soul mates.

When illness put a stop to her painting, she found expression and comfort in her writing. Her book Klee Wyck received Canada’s highest literary honor – the Governor General’s Award.

Emily Carr: At the Edge of the World is an introduction to this remarkable artist and her paintings. ... Read more

The title of artist, writer, and rebel Emily Carr's first book means "Laughing One," the nickname given her by the Native people of Canada's west coast. She returned the favor with Klee Wyck, a collection of 21 "word portraits" of their lives and ways. The memoir describes in witty, vivid detail Carr's visits and travels as she painted their totem poles and villages and got to know a people whose "quiet strength healed my heart." The book is reissued here with restored text and features the original introduction by Ira Dilworth and a new introduction by Carr scholar Kathryn Bridge. ... Read more

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. ... Read more

Emily Carr as artist is outstanding, and her life is just as remarkable.

This is a wonderful INTRODUCTION to Emily Carr's art and how it evolved during her fascinating lifetime. The color plates are well chosen and beautiful reproductions. The text illuminates the plates and presents an excellent account of her life. It is written in the Emily Carr tradition of "presenting essentials only, discarding everything of minor importance". I am sure Emily would have approved. It is a worthwhile purchase, especially in the paperback edition.

4-0 out of 5 stars A pleasure
I love reading about Emily Carr, and this is the first biographical book I read. While it does begin in her childhood, it concetrates on her time in the U.K, studying around the turn of the century. To read other parts in more detail you might need to read Klee Wyck or The Book of Small. Or just buy the book of all her writing in one.
I really enjoy her honest style of writing, the way she saw things and said what was on her mind. She must have driven her more proper sisters nuts. She's a wonderful example of what you can do if you put your mind to it, especially as a woman back in that day and age. A great read whether you're an artist or just interested in autobiographies.

Product Description
Emily Carr (1871-1945) was an extraordinary Canadian artist and writer. She is now a national cultural icon and is considered one of the great artists of the Americas. She found inspiration for her paintings in the lush and towering rain forests of the British Columbia coast and in the compelling totem poles that stood in Native villages.

This book is based on a special cache of small drawing books that offer a direct connection with Carrís hand, eye, and mind. Spanning the years 1927 to 1930, at a turning point in her life when she was in her mid-fifties, these sketches record seven significant journeys -- to isolated Native villages in coastal British Columbia and to eastern Canada to meet fellow artists in the Group of Seven. Two of the journeys were metaphorical -- to abstraction and to nature itself -- but both were an intrinsic part of all the others, as well as a part of the process of developing the powerful painting style that is uniquely hers.

Doris Shadbolt presents a selection of more than 80 of Carrís drawings. Her text, animated by quotations from previously unpublished writings by Carr, takes us along on these journeys, echoing the intimacy and immediacy of the drawings themselves. ... Read more

Hundreds and Thousands are the journals of Emily Carr, spanning her life from 1927 to 1941.They offer great insight into her artistic development, opening with her visit to Toronto to meet with The Group of Seven, for the first time.
Emily Carr is first and foremost known for her paintings, but many feel that her writing talent equaled or maybe surpassed her canvas art.
In "Hundreds and Thousands" her simple sentence about her impressions while camping- The sun shouts, "Right about face," and every little dandelion looks him plumb in the eye. - reveals her simplistic descriptive wit.
Another example that tickled me - The world comes into my room, kicks the silence about, smashes it to smithereens, and builds little cobweb bridges so your thoughts can cross to Germany and Russia, to France - the circumstance was her adjusting to her new radio. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Emily Carr
An outstanding and comprehensive look at one of the artists of last century's most talented, most obscure (in the U.S.), and most ahead of her time. One of Canada's national treasures, Emily Carr and her artistic legacy have languished far too long in the art world. This hefty and informative book takes its place in remedying that as a contemporary biography and catalog of the artist, her life, and her work, and that of some of her fellow artists. Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Emily Carr- one of the most overlooked and important women artists
I travelled to Toronto for this exhibit in 2007 at the AGO and was thrilled to have the opportunity to find this book on Amazon last year for much less than it sold for at the exhibit.BEAUTIFUL book and such an important addition to any art historian's collection.Emily Carr is one of the least known women artists here in the United States - yet she remains one of the best, most interesting, and most essential to know during these times of environmental crisis.If you are a fan of Emily Carr and know that there are not many books about her then you will not be disappointed.If you've never seen her work in person but are interested in women artists and art history this is a great start as it also gives an overview ofsome other Canadian artists in her time period. ...
