Klee Wyck by Emily Carr
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.Emily Carr (December 13, 1871 – March 2, 1945) was a well-known Canadian artist and writer who was born in Victoria, British Columbia. She moved back to British Columbia in 1911 after studying painting in the United States, England, and France. The landscapes and First Nations cultures of British Columbia and Alaska had the greatest influence on Carr. She met members of the Group of Seven in the 1920s and was later requested to submit her work for consideration in a Group of Seven exhibition. Five years later, she was dubbed The Mother of Modern Arts.
