Front Cover
Yale University Press, Jan 1, 2000 - Art - 366 pages
This book compares the art, lives, and achievements of three great artists of the Americas - Emily Carr (1871-1945) of Canada, Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) of the United States, and Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) of Mexico. Each became her country’s preeminent woman painter in the twentieth century, and all explored similar issues in their painting.
