Description
Cedar Sanctuary by Emily Carr 1942
Cedar Sanctuary was painted by Carr late in her career. It shows a lone cedar tree. The swirl of the trunk is offset by the swirl of the green foliage of the tree. In the upper right hand corner can be seen a hint of blue sky.
Carr painted this image in the middle of World War II. Art supplies were difficult to acquire. Carr used oil paints diluted with gasoline on paper to achieve an almost watercolor effect.
Emily Carr was a west coast Canadian artist whose paintings were inspired by nature, her own spiritual beliefs and the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest coast.
Carr was formally trained as a classical painter in San Francisco and as an Impressionist painter in France in 1910.
Working alone in Victoria, British Columbia her work received little attention until 1927. That year, her work was included with paintings from the famous Group of Seven artists in an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Canada.
The watermark in the lower right hand corner of the picture does not appear on the final print.
