The beauty and breadth of this book make it the definitive book of Emily Carr, one of twentieth century art's most innovative outsiders. An ambitious and groundbreaking book revisits Carr and her world through the eyes of three distinguished senior curators, and seven critics and essayists. Featuring over 250 colour images, which form a vivid narrative. Never before has Carr's life, and her place at the centre of the Canadian imagination, been so vividly explored.
