Four Pictures by Emily Carr

(1) 4-6 The life of Canadian artist Emily Carr receives an innovative treatment in this involving portrait. Debon, whose comic-book-like style is reminiscent of that of Raymond Briggs in painterly texture and emotional impact, uses dialogue balloons with handwritten text to tell the story. Information about the four paintings reproduced and referenced is included on the CIP page. This is an unusual and highly successful homage.
