The Complete Works of Emily Carr
"Young, spirited and rebellious, Emily Carr study art in the Paris of Picasso and Matisse. In middle age, she shook the dust of acceptable society from her shoes and began a passionate journey into the wilderness of British Columbia; the power of her genius made her one of the twentieth century's great painters.
Fortunately, she also wrote. In her books, her warmth, her humanity, her sense of fun and the ridiculous combine to present a self-portrait of a remarkable woman and artist. For many women, she is a heroine because of her tenacity and creative brilliance."
-Mary Pratt
