pp. 74, color photographs throughout. “One of the most fascinating rewards for the lover of landscape painting is to come upon the actual scene that inspired an artist – to row around the same river-ben where Monet set up his easel on the bank; to see a Turner sunset over London; to step out into the quiet of early morning on an Edward Hopper street; or, in the case of Emily Carr, to walk among the dark, majestic, pillared groves of the West Coast rain forest, over vivid cushions of moss, through filtering sunbeams, down to a rocky shore where the totem poles look out to sea. In this unique book a scholar with a life-long devotion to Emily Carr and a photographer of rare sensitivity combine their skills to recreate something of the artist’s world. Drawing on Emily Carr’s unpublished writings Kerry Mason Dodd has assembled a text which is carefully matched by the images that Michael Breuer gathered during two years spent in search of the scenes that inspired Emily Carr. The resulting book is both a window on Emily Carr’s world and an eloquent gesture of homage.”
