is curated by Kiriko Watanabe (AAM Gail & Stephen A. Jarislowsky Curator) and Dr. Kathryn Bridge (Royal BC Museum Curator Emerita), and captures the moment Carr revolutionized her painting style—and emerged as a Canadian modernist—after returning from a 16-month
trip to France in 1911. The exhibition closes Jan. 24, 2021. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Univers LT Pro 55",sans-serif">The exhibition takes visitors on a journey from Victoria to France and back to British Columbia, as Carr seeks to immerse herself in the richly layered
world of modernist art. Her paintings from this period are displayed chronologically, growing in size, scope, and colour, to develop in just a few years into the iconic style for which Carr is now internationally renowned. Says co-curator Bridge: “I honestly
believe that without her time in France, Emily Carr would never have become the great artist we know today.”</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

materials,” says Royal BC Museum CEO Prof. Jack Lohman. “We are delighted to be able to augment this remarkable exhibition with important additions from our vast collection, including the signature painting,
<i>T’aanuu Llnagaay</i>—a vivid example of Haida artistry captured by Carr in her newly expanded painting style.”

poles featured in <i>T’aanuu Llnagaay</i>. This is a chance to understand what Indigenous artists were doing in the same era, and to experience the profound energy of these original monumental works.”<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

and provides a dynamic forum for discussion and a place for reflection. The museum and archives celebrate culture and history, telling the stories of BC in ways that enlighten, stimulate and inspire. Located in Victoria on the traditional territory of the
Lekwungen (Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations), we are a hub of community connections in BC–onsite, offsite and online–taking pride in our collective histories.

<p class="xbodytext" style="margin-top:.1pt;background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Univers LT Pro 55",sans-serif">Established in 2016, the Audain Art Museum was founded via a major philanthropic gift of Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa.
The institution’s permanent collection is focused on the art of British Columbia, including an outstanding holding of historic First Nations masks, a comprehensive selection of paintings by Emily Carr and a brilliant range of works by Vancouver’s photo-conceptualists.
The Museum hosts two temporary exhibitions per year that feature artists and collections of national as well as international significance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
