This diploma thesis concentrates on a Canadian artist, Emily Carr, namely on her life, times and work. It explores the reasons why her work had originally been rejected and accepted at the end of her life. The first part of this thesis deals with the time and province where she lived, British Columbia, and also with the Aboriginal culture and art in Canada. It describes the public attitude and awareness of the Aboriginal topic. The second part deals with Carr's life (studies and sketching trips), her financial struggles, the refusal of her community to accept her as an artist, and her other activities such as pottery, breeding dogs, etc. It elaborates on the importance of her writings and the topics covered in her books. It also deals with her recognition and importance as an artist at the present time.
