Emily Carr - Tree in Autumn Canadian West Coast Seasonal Transformation Heritage Art Print Gift

Details
In the coastal rainforests of British Columbia, Emily Carr discovered what would become her life’s defining subject — the living, breathing forest itself. Tree in Autumn captures a solitary arboreal sentinel ablaze with seasonal transformation, rendered in the bold Fauvist palette and swirling brushwork that revolutionized Canadian landscape painting.
Created during Carr’s most innovative period of the 1930s, this work embodies her radical departure from documentary realism toward spiritual abstraction. After meeting Lawren Harris and the Group of Seven in 1927, Carr abandoned her earlier totemic subjects to pursue what Harris called “the tremendous elusive what lies behind” — the mystical essence of the West Coast wilderness.
The painting showcases Carr’s revolutionary oil-on-paper technique, perfected by 1934, which allowed her unprecedented freedom to work directly in nature. Using house paint thinned with gasoline on manila paper, she could complete entire compositions in single outdoor sessions, capturing the immediate vitality of the forest with watercolor-like fluidity in a more robust medium. This innovation freed her from studio constraints and brought authenticity to her forest portraits.
Tree in Autumn demonstrates Carr’s mature style: sculptural forms breaking into swirling, rhythmic movements; rich autumnal oranges, reds, and golds dancing against deep forest greens; vertical composition emphasizing the towering majesty of Pacific Northwest trees. Her brushstrokes don’t merely describe foliage — they embody the life force pulsing through the forest itself.
Carr saw British Columbia’s forests differently than her contemporaries, who viewed them as either impenetrable wilderness or lumber resources. She perceived them as sacred spaces glowing with inner light, each tree a living expression of nature’s spiritual power. This vision profoundly shaped how British Columbians understand their landscape, establishing a new paradigm for depicting the coastal rainforest.
Working from her Victoria base, Carr ventured into nearby locations like Metchosin, Goldstream Flats, and the Esquimalt Lagoon — often traveling in “The Elephant,” her beloved caravan purchased in 1933. These excursions produced the symphonies of greens, browns, and seasonal colors that define her forest paintings, works that remain radical in their day and timeless in their power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any paper recommendations?
heavyweight paper or card stock is a perfect budget friendly choice. They range from glossy to a matte finish. Premium archival fine art paper with a slight watercolor or linen texture will result in the most authentic vintage art reproductions.
How do I go about framing my print?
The frames used in our shop listings are product photos, and are not physical frames that are sold. They make a frame matched perfectly to your media and matte, so usually you will need to bring in the physical picture and matte (if you use one) so they can cut a frame for it.
Here are a few sites with a huge variety of frames to choose from:
