The artwork titled “Thunder Bird, Campbell River” was created by the artist Emily Carr in the year 1929 in Canada. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism and Art Nouveau (Modern) movements. The dimensions of this figurative landscape painting are 61 by 45.7 centimeters.
In the artwork, a thunderbird, a significant figure in Indigenous North American culture, is depicted standing prominently in the foreground with outstretched wings. The bird is rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors typical of Post-Impressionism. The background features rolling green hills and a fence, with a dramatic sky painting a vivid contrast against the thunderbird. This composition blends Carr’s affinity for nature with her appreciation for Indigenous totemic art.
