Provenance:

From The Collection of Stanley and Jean Zazelenchuk

Literature:

Norman Zepp, Subtle Form and Sensitive Line: The Sculpture of Arviat, Inuit Art Quarterly, Spring 2017, page 30

Note:

“...the most overt indications of subject matter are angular yet flowing appendages and simplified visages. Humanness is often indicated merely by a small, finely incised face (always on an upward facing plane) and two slight notches on the sides to denote arms; Pangnark seemed to know instinctively that an otherwise undifferentiated mass needs precisely that relief.”
