PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist
By descent to the present Private Collection, Ontario


Emily Carr's identification with First Nations people was very strong in the mid-1920s - she surrounded herself with her paintings of native villages and totems, and in her attic bedroom she painted two great bird forms from the ’Yalis cemetery, which she slept beneath. This petite but powerful piece features a thunderbird motif with vibrant colouring and detail.
