"The Art of Emily Carr is in every way.a splendidproduction. The sensitive judgments, the poised andflawlessly apt prose, make it a model of clear writing...a monumental achievement in writing, understanding,design and production."

"The best kind of popularization, an intelligent accountof this odd-lady-out who painted some of the mostmagnificent pictures of this Canadian century... Besurprised; be troubled; and know this is the kind of artbook to take with you to the moon."
