Picture of the day

Emily Carr (1871–1945) was a Canadian artist and writer, and one of the first painters in Canada to adopt a Modernist and Post-Impressionist style. She received widespread recognition for her work when she changed from Aboriginal themes to landscapes. This 1939 painting by Carr, entitled Odds and Ends, depicts cleared land and tree stumps, revealing the impact of deforestation on British Columbia, and is now held by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.Painting credit: Emily Carr
