* I work hard on these pieces and dislike empty like button clicks. Comments from friends and readers are my reward. :) *
Some people can summarize their emotions and memories by drawing and painting, with recognizable styles and themes. For example, Robert Bateman’s milieu is lifelike Canadian wildlife. Norman Rockwell chronicled common American people. The first thing I noticed about Emilee Nora Horn’s work is dynamic versatility. It is a pleasant surprise to encounter any kind of scene enlivening each turned page. The word that comes to mind describing the style, feeling, and scope evoked by her artwork is: “fresh”!
“Firefly Time: The Art And Poetry Of Emily N. Horn (Carter)” is a must-see for talent from New York, Winnipeg, and exploring artists you did not know. A biography introduces a background that is colourful and dynamic too. I read everything, then started anew to absorb the images. Emilee the girl, grew up on family land in Peekskill, 30 miles north of New York City. It was a well-liked hangout, visited by Eartha Kitt! Their school presented the Von Trapp family singers! Emilee the artist, studied at Freeman Schoolcraft’s Chicago studio.
From the 1950s to the 2000s: her paintings comprised gorgeous pastoral home tableaux, fresh-looking flowers in bouquets, vases, on ocean paths, and abstracts in tribute to Vincent Van Gogh and Mary Cassatt. There are anatomy studies, cityscapes, detailed and subtle country scenes, and even alien landscapes. There are vibrant rooms I would love to occupy.
In 1958, Emilee married holocaust surviving medical student, Stefan Carter. Winnipeg, Manitoba became their home, with two sons and a mosaic of culture, like the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Special to me is that Emilee befriended my Mom! Emilee ascended to Heaven in 2013. My Mom joined her this 2020. This 2015 artbook of paintings, sculptures, and poetry published by Emilee’s husband and sons, is a comforting way for me to acquaint my Mom’s kind, talented friends.
