Do you love to read? Would you like to learn more about famous artists and art historical movements?
Join the Northville Art House and the Northville District Library at the Northville Art House for an art-inspired book club. Meeting bi-monthly, this book club will focus on fiction inspired by art history’s most famous (and infamous) figures. Participants will see the story come to life through presentations, and possibly art-making activities, inspired by each month’s selection.
Current Book Selection: The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland.
WEDNESDAY, November 12, 6:30-7:30 pm
In her acclaimed novels, Susan Vreeland has given us portraits of painting and life that are as dazzling as their artistic subjects. Now, in The Forest Lover she traces the courageous life and career of Emily Carr, who, more than Georgia O’Keeffe or Frida Kahlo, blazed a path for modern women artists.
Overcoming the confines of Victorian culture, Carr became a major force in modern art by capturing an untamed British Columbia and its indigenous peoples just before industrialization changed them forever. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to artists studios in pre World War I Paris, Vreeland tells her story with gusto and suspense, giving us a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art, native cultures, and lush historical fiction.
