Description
"Beloved Land: The World of Emily Carr celebrates the art and writing of a great artist who dedicated her life to portraying the powerful majesty of the coastal landscape, the lush rain forest and the monumental totem poles created by the native people of British Columbia." "The 40 full-colour paintings chosen for this book from the collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery are among Emily Carr's most popular, and they are accompanied by short quotations from her writing. The introduction by Robin Laurence presents revealing insights into the life of this unconventional and gifted woman."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Not only are the paintings (held by the Vancouver Art Gallery) lovely, but each is accompanied by a quote from Emily Carr's written work. The introduction is a well-written 26-page bio of this artist and writer.
