Early Life and Influences
Emily Carr was born on December 13, 1871, in Victoria, British Columbia. As a child, she developed a deep love for nature and the rugged landscapes that surrounded her. Her early artistic influences included the Barbizon School of painting, known for its focus on the depiction of nature. Carr also became fascinated with Northwest Coast First Nations art, particularly the intricate designs and vibrant colors of their totem poles.
Travels and Artistic Inspiration
Throughout her career, Carr traveled extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest. She visited remote First Nations villages, immersing herself in their culture and witnessing their deep reverence for the land. Her travels inspired her to explore the relationship between humanity and nature, and she often depicted indigenous figures as symbols of the spiritual connection between the two.
