Summary:
"Writing early in 1962,
Lucy
Jarvis
said she felt "just at the threshold of beginning."
Jarvis
had studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in the 1920s, later becoming part of the social realist movement, committed to an art "of the people." In 1941
Jarvis
co-founded the UNB Art Centre with Pegi Nicol MacLeod, and together they turned it into a place of creative effervescence. Passionate and single-minded,
Jarvis
threw herself into everything that she did and the results were nothing short of astounding. In a few short years, she and MacLeod had transformed their environment. Yet it wasn't until the early 1960s that the unstoppable
Jarvis
set out on her own. She left the art centre and headed for Paris. In four extended stays during the 1960s, she immersed herself completely, living in French, attending the open studios, and connecting with other artists. Her retreats to Pembroke Dyke near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, during the summer months allowed her to digest her experiences, and her art took on new
life
. The influences of both impressionism and post-impressionism emerged in her work, and her paintings became more boldly colourful, freer--more completely her own.

Have
Life
is the first examination of
Jarvis
's considerable body of work--what she painted, how she rendered it, and how her art permeated her
life
and her
life
permeated her art."--From publisher.
