Emily Carr: Collected by Ian M Thom

Emily Carr: Collected by Ian M Thom

A smartly packaged, affordably priced collection of the works of a Canadian icon.

Nearly seventy years after her death, Emily Carr's works continue to capture the grandeur of British Columbia's landscape and define our vision of the nation. The approximately one hundred works reproduced in this collection showcase the breadth of Carr's career, from early watercolours in Skidegate and Alert Bay on the northwest coast to charcoal sketches in mid-career to the stunning oils of trees, ravens, and mountains that characterized her later career.

Beautifully designed, its small format and price ideal for giftbuyers and visitors to the province, this volume is a compendium of some of Carr's best and most memorable works.

Ian M. Thom is one of Canada's foremost advocates for British Columbia art. Now Senior Curator--Historical at the Vancouver Art Gallery, he has organized more than 100 exhibitions throughout his career, on subjects as diverse as Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. He is best known, however, as an expert on Canadian art and especially the work of Emily Carr. His books, which include Challenging Traditions; Shore, Forest and Beyond; and Art BC, and scholarly publications are all highly respected and appeal to a wide audience. A member of the Order of Canada for his contributions to Canadian art, Thom lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
