Description
Vanquished by Emily Carr 1930
This painting is considered to be one of Carr's most important works.
In the painting, Carr shows an abandoned First Nations village site. She wrote about this painting that she was depicting "a row of crazily tipped totem poles straggled along the low bank skirting Skedons Bay". The abandoned village was located in Haida Gwaii on the coast of British Columbia.
The title of the painting "Vanquished" represents Carr's sadness at the Haida culture, which she thought might disappear in her lifetime.
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.
