Kumi:
Your friend may want to first consult basic biographical reference books
such as the following:
Benezit, Emmanuel. Dictionnaire critique et documentaire des peintres,
sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs de tous les temps et de tous les pays /
par un groupe d'ecrivains specialistes francais et etrangers. Nouvelle ed.,
entierement ref. / sous la direction de Jacques Busse. Paris : Grund,
c1999.
Thieme-Becker/Vollmer Gesamtregister : Register zum Allgemeinen Lexikon der
bildenden Kunstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart und zum Allgemeinen
Lexikon der bildenden Kunstler des XX. Jahrhunderts / [Datenverarbeitung,
Andreas Klimt , Mathias Wundisch]. Munchen : K.G. Saur ; Leipzig : E.A.
Seemann, 1996
Then, check your school's art library. You will probably be able to find
the following book and a videotape:
Frances Anne Hopkins, 1838-1919 : Canadian scenery = le paysage canadien /
by Janet E. Clark, Robert H. Stacey. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the
Thunder Bay Art Gallery, 27 January-18 March 1990, and travelling to other
galleries. Thunder Bay, Ont. : Thunder Bay Art Gallery, 1989.
The petticoat expeditions [videorecording] / [presented by] the National
Film Board of Canada ; producer, Kent Martin ; directed and written by
Pepita Ferrari. 1 videocassette (52 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences ;
1/2 in.
Montreal, Quebec : National Film Board of Canada, c1997. ("Recounts the
captivating stories of three British women whose pioneering spirits led them
to travel in 19th-century Canada")
Always check what is available on the internet as well.
http://collections.ic.gc.ca/heirloom_series/volume5/292-295.htm . In
addition to a general search, museums collecting the artist's work often has
some info. on the web. For example, in this case, the Glenbow Museum in
Alberta and the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
