		The degree to which the strong totemic shapes of poles influenced Carr is seen not only in her early paintings of the poles themselves, but in her later paintings of the solid, impenetrable forest which she shows us as if it had been carved in paint as surely as her Native counterpart carved in cedar.

	Emily Carr
		Emily Carr experienced an ecstatic identification with the spirit of nature, particularly as she found it in British Columbia.
		Carr also brought the Japanese concept of Sei Do into her definition: "the transfusion into the work of the felt nature of the thing to be painted." Like 0'Keeffe, Carr was receptive to principles and practices of Asian art.
		Carr's responses, particularly her Tree Trunk and the formalized cedar drawing, demonstrate a new simplicity in her work, as well as the strong possibility of sublimated eros - a suggestion that would have horrified the prim Emily, simultaneously repelled by and drawn to Lawrence's nature based sexuality.

		Emily Carr is in the encyclopedias as a painter first, writer second, but she was an original in both fields, and many prefer her writing.
		Emily Carr the painter and Emily Carr the writer may well be outlived by Emily Carr the person, and the Emily Carr we know--an independent woman, clear-headed but eccentric, curious and warm--comes more than anywhere from the character she created in the books she left behind.
		Though her paintings have received the most attention, Carr was also a prolific and successful writer, producing seven books, one of which won the Governor General's Award for Literature in 1941.
