Item #28074 The Emily Carr Omnibus. Emily Carr.

The Emily Carr Omnibus.

Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1993. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. This omnibus edition contains all of Emily Carr's published books including: Klee Wyck, Book of Small, House of All Sorts, Growing Pains, Heart of a Peacock, Pause, Hundres & Thousands. This omnibus by Canadian painter/writer Carr (1871-1945) is a discovery and a delight. Carr's modernist paintings of Northwest Indian peoples and their totems and of nature have won comparisons with Georgia O'Keeffe. Her seven books, all reprinted here, range from Klee Wyck (1941), spare stories of her forays into remote Native villages, to autobiographical recollections of growing up in pristine British Columbia and rebelling against her Victorian family, to Hundreds and Thousands (1966), her posthumous artistic journal. This vast scrapbook includes travel sketches on England and Paris, blackly comic vignettes based on Carr's 13 years as a harried landlady, a record of her 18 months in an English sanitorium, anecdotes, philosophical musings and uncanny psychological portraits of her beloved dogs, parrots, monkeys and other pets.
