"Canadian culture suffered a serious blow this month in the sudden death of Emily Carr, famous Victoria painter and writer who won belated recognition as one of the Dominion's most original and important artists."
Emily Carr was 73 when she died and it "was not until she was 60 that public opinion began to appreciate the value of her work"
I have gathered pictures of Emily with her beloved pets and animals, two of my favourite Carr paintings, and I have also included the rest of the 1945 Windsor Star newspaper article below.
