Description

En 1911, lorsque l’artiste canadienne Emily Carr revient de son séjour de seize mois en France, son style pictural est radicalement transformé. Emily Carr : Voir autrement – Du modernisme français à la côte Ouest retrace son parcours artistique en France et révèle la profonde influence de l’art moderne sur sa représentation des Premières Nations de la côte Nord-Ouest de la Colombie-Britannique. Cet ouvrage réunit des textes de Kiriko Watanabe, conservatrice (avec le soutien de Gail et Stephen A. Jarislowsky) de l’Audain Art Museum; Kathryn Bridge, spécialiste de Carr; Michael Polay, chercheur; Robin Laurence, critique d’art; et Emily Carr elle-même.
