Emily Carr; A Biography by Maria Tippett
No artist has expressed the mood, mystery, and soul of Canada s west coast as Emily Carr did in her landscape art and novels. This biography captures the originality of mind, fierce and independent spirit, and extraordinary productivity of a woman who defied convention to follow her dream. With a narrative that is at once sympathetic and penetrating, acclaimed writer and historian Maria Tippett chronicles Carr's struggles, wide travels, and achievements.
