Description from the back cover:
A lavish historical novel about a pioneering woman artist and the untamed country she loved.
Before Georgia O'Keeffe redefined the desert landscapes of New Mexico and Frida Kahlo revolutionized the art of self-portraiture, Emily Carr blazed a similar path with her boldly modern and inventive renditions of the British Columbian landscape. In "The Forest Lover," Susan Vreeland brings to life the astonishing career of this fiercely independent adventurer and painter.
Overcoming the confining of Victorian culture, Carr set off her own to paint a rugged frontier and its indigenous peoples just before the forces of history changed them forever. Ranging from tribal villages in the Pacific Northwest to artists' studios in pre-World War I Paris, Vreeland tells her story with gusto and suspense, giving us a glorious novel about courage, genius, and the pursuit of vision against daunting odds.
