On February 6, the Vancouver Art Gallry opened a sweeping exhibition of Emily Carr’s landscapes, depicting her native British Columbia,.That Green Ideal: Emily Carr and the Idea of Nature features work primarily drawn from the museum’s collection—the most comprehensive holdings of her work in the world—and draw on the strengths of a small exhibition last year curated by the museum’s Richard Hill. I was fortune enough to be invited to the media preview the day before the opening during which Richard Hill, again the exhibitions curator, led an fascinating, thoughtful and informative tour through the four galleries presenting more than 125 of Carr's atwork, only four of which were borrowed. A Carr fan's delight.
