Unsettling encounters : First Nations imagery in the art of Emily Carr / Gerta Moray.

Moray, Gerta. (Author). Carr, Emily, 1871-1945 (Added Author).

Summary:

"Unsettling Encounters radically re-examines Emily Carr's achievement in representing Native life on the Northwest Coast in her painting and writing. By reconstructing a neglected body of Carr's work that was central in shaping her vision and career, it makes possible a new assessment of her significance as a leading figure in early-twentieth-century North American modernism."--Jacket.
