TIM LAFONTAINE, CREE, Kwakwaka'wakw Style Mask, c. mid-2000s

Item Details

Description

TIM LAFONTAINE (1975-) CREE, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Kwakwaka'wakw Style Mask, c. mid-2000s
cedar wood, cedar bark, copper, acrylic paint, and string, 12.5 x 9 x 8 in (31.8 x 22.9 x 20.3 cm)
signed and inscribed, "TIM / LAFONTAINE / ELDER / VANCOUVER / B.C.".

Provenance
Important Private Collection, Pittsburgh, PA.

This mask depicts an elder of high status (as depicted by the copper eyes) as well as the lines of age and wisdom. Orators would tell stories relating history and the interrelationship of all things, protocols and the proper balance between humans and nature. This would be both entertainment during the long winter months and oral history being passed from one generation to the next.
