A propos de cet article

SUBTITLED : ` First Nations Imagery in the Art of Emily Carr '. Emily Carr's gender worked against her, born in 1871, she would have been more readily accepted as a librarian or a nurse. She went to school in Victoria with two young female artist students from richer families, more capable of pulling societal strings, - these two were Sophie Pemberton and Josephine Crease. Emily (one of 5 sisters) quickly affirmed herself as a `Canadian' painter at a time when others were content to preserve the traditions of the British Empire. Part of Emily's Canadianess lead her to a pro-Indian and therefore anti-church philosophical positon, Despite these themes of conflict in her life she succeeded in becoming Canada's PREMIER painter of West Coast Indian culture. These 386 pages - incl. Notes, Biblio, and Index, look at her career in the documentation of Gitxsan, Haida, Tlingit, Tmishian and Kwakiutl life styles. Totem poles were her particular passion. Illustrated by b/w plates, including some by other painters who influenced her, with a large section at center of magnificent colour reproductions. LEARN more about : Alice Ravenhill, Hagwilget, Marcia Crosby, Sitka, Theodore Richardson, potlatch hats, Hannah Maynard, gravehouses, Kwawkewlth Agency, Kispiox village, wood-spirits, Clara Russ, and Quatsino Sound. Cond : Boards are : black with gilt lettering - spine only. End-papers are gold coloured. D.J. is black with white lettering .
