Description
KANANGINAK POOTOOGOOK, R.C.A. (1935-2010) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
Tumbling Walrus, 2003 #7
Printmaker: QIATSUK NIVIAQSI (1941-) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
stonecut and stencil on natural coloured paper, 18 x 24.5 in (45.7 x 62.2 cm)
5/50
Provenance
Private Collection, Australia.
Kananginak was perhaps the foremost illustrator of wildlife imagery in Cape Dorset. Indeed, so lifelike were his depictions of birds that he has often been referred to as “the Audubon of the Arctic”. In this wonderful image we see two formidable pinnipeds seemingly at play or perhaps in amorous embrace. Kananginak has elegantly captured the highly wrinkled texture of walrus hide and has managed to depict a pair of rather inelegant mammals in a most empathetic and endearing manner.
