Google Doodle Honours Artist Emily Carr

Today marks the birth of celebrated Canadian artist Emily Carr and Google honours Carr through their Google Doodle in which they depict a landscape reminiscent of Carr’s modernist and post-impressionist painting style.

Emily Carr was known to source inspiration for her pieces from the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast and although she is well-known today, she did not receive recognition for her work until later in her life.
