Description
Totem Walk at Sitka by Emily Carr 1907
In this painting done early in Carr's career, she shows her artistic talent. It also shows how Carr was evolving her conceptual viewpoint of west coast first nations cultures.
The result is a wonderful painting where the totem poles blend in with the trees and with nature.
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.
