First sentence: THE VICTORIA ENVIRONMENT The opportunity for becoming-and remaining-an artist had to be created by Carr herself, for neither her family nor the community in which she grew up provided the kind of nurturing environment that was based on recognition of art's vital role in a culture or that accepted the artist as a totally committed person.
