Opposite Contraries: The Unknown Journals of Emily Carr and Other Writings Details

Collected from Emily Carr’s private and public writings, these previously unpublished pieces reveal the outspoken artist at her most forthright. Expurgated sections from Carr’s journals detail her anguished meditations on her spiritual mission, musings about Native culture and the white community’s reaction to it, and thoughts about her family. Her groundbreaking 1913 “Lecture on Totems”, her first recorded writing on Native art and people, is also included, as are some of her most fascinating letters to friends and colleagues.

Reviews

I read this book for an english writing course that compared Carr and her knowledge of totems, and their bearing on her painting. Carr is an interesting woman. The title summarizes the issues in her lifetime. Conflicts, knowledge, depth of interest, despair and comforts found in her lifetime.When I have finished mores courses, I'd be interested i reading her other books (already have her bio and klee wYck read).Enjoy
