Title Description Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo have lately captured our collective imagination - but Susan Vreeland thinks the true pioneer of modernist women's art in America was Emily Carr (1871-1945). In this vividly realized historical novel, Vreeland paints the landscape of Carr's imaginative world: the lush wilderness of British Columbia at once dangerous and alluring as industrialization encroached; the tribal villages and their indigenous art forms, vanishing before assimilation; the vibrantly engaged art scene in prewar Paris, where her work was exhibited in the famed Salon d'Automne. Framed by a suspenseful plot filled with portraits of the unconventional people whom Carr befriended - a native basket-maker, the son of missionaries, who embraces native culture, a French fur trader who captures Carr's heart and this beautifully-realized novel will fascinate lovers of art.
