Emily Carr’s journals from 1927 to 1941 portray the happy, productive period when she was able to resume painting after dismal years of raising dogs and renting out rooms to pay the bills. These revealing entries convey her passionate connection with nature, her struggle to find her voice as a writer, and her vision and philosophy as a painter.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a very revealing and enjoyable read,
By Thursday (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of an Artist (Paperback)
Hundreds and Thousands are the journals of Emily Carr, spanning her life from 1927 to 1941. They offer great insight into her artistic development, opening with her visit to Toronto to meet with The Group of Seven, for the first time.Emily Carr is first and foremost known for her paintings, but many feel that her writing talent equaled or maybe surpassed her canvas art. In "Hundreds and Thousands" her simple sentence about her impressions while camping - The sun shouts, "Right about face," and every little dandelion looks him plumb in the eye. - reveals her simplistic descriptive wit. Another example that tickled me - The world comes into my room, kicks the silence about, smashes it to smithereens, and builds little cobweb bridges so your thoughts can cross to Germany and Russia, to France - the circumstance was her adjusting to her new radio.

This review is from: Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr (Paperback)
This book continues to inspire me long after having read it. As a spiritual person who also loves to paint, her words bring me comfort. As an artist who has to work other jobs to make a living, her experience gives me hope that my art matters too.
