Provenance:

Daphne Odjig, by descent to Stan Somerville
Private Collection, Ontario

Note:

The present artwork comes from the personal collection of Daphne Odjig and is one of seven larger monotypes made by Odjig during a 1983 print session guided by fellow PNIAI artist and friend of Odjig, Joseph Sanchez.[1] During the session in Sanchez's studio, a total of seven larger prints were made (including the present example), in addition to five prints on a smaller scale.[2] Notably each of the 1983 prints were made using the non-reproducible monoptype process in which the artist paints ink or paint onto a non-absorbent surface to create an original and unique artwork.
