Details: Emily Carr's paintings capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest wilderness, exuding the fierce vigor and immediacy of the region's backcountry. Carr (1871–1945) was devoted to depicting the forest and the First Nations culture. Her charged, impassioned landscapes and powerful compositions of totem poles brought her renown as the foremost painter of the Canadian Pacific Coast. Here are 12 of her paintings from the Vancouver Art Gallery.
