Description
Odds and Ends by Emily Carr 1939
Emily Carr painted this image in the last decade of her life. She had become concerned about the ecological impact of humanity upon the environment.
The painting shows cleared land and tree stumps and the impact of deforestation.
Notice the cleared land in the foreground has grass growing on it, which Carr represents as a light green wave. This is offset by the dark green wave in the background of the forest on the mountain slopes, which has not been logged.
Both of the green waves are offset by the vertical blue sky.
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.
