BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Emily Carr, Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr, 2006, page 67


Mountain Scene was likely painted during a June 1933 trip Emily Carr took from Victoria to the British Columbia mainland, in which she visited relatives in Brackendale and then took a train to Lillooet. From there, she traveled to Seton and Anderson Lakes, then south to Pemberton. The mainland mountain ranges delighted and inspired Carr, who commented in her diary, “The mountains [are] glorious, tossing splendour and glory from peak to peak.”

This serene mountain landscape was acquired in 1948 in Ottawa by the consignor’s mother. She was a close friend of Bobby Plaunt, wife of Alan Plaunt, who was one of the founders of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Mrs. Plaunt had a great interest in Canadian art, and she arranged for Dr. Max Stern of Montreal's well-known Dominion Gallery to have some of Carr’s sketches sent to Ottawa, to be offered for sale in her home to a select group of friends. Mountain Scene was the consignor’s mother’s first choice, and the painting has remained in their family ever since.

Included with this lot are copies of documents regarding the work, including letters from Dr. Stern.
