Description: "This book compares the art, lives, and achievements of three great artists of the Americas: Emily Carr (1871-1945) of Canada, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) of the United States, and Frida Kahlo (1907-54) of Mexico. Each became her country's preeminent woman painter in the twentieth century, and all explored similar issues in their painting.

Sharyn Rohlfsen Udall shows how each artist searched for an authentic, personal identity and analyzes in detail the issues these women faced in relation to nationality, nature, gender, and the creation of a personal mythology."--BOOK JACKET.
