Odds and Ends 1939

Emily Carr's "Odds and Ends" (1939) is a striking example of her signature style, which blends elements of Expressionism and the landscape painting tradition. The work depicts a cleared forest in British Columbia, a region Carr was deeply connected to. The remaining tree stumps, the towering trees, and the vibrant blue sky are all rendered with bold strokes and vivid colors, capturing the raw power and beauty of the Canadian wilderness. Carr's work often explored themes of nature, spirituality, and the impact of human activity on the natural world.
