Lot Report

Literature:

This image appears in Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, Signum Press, Montreal, 1974, page 235.

The Inuit Print, National Museum of Man (Ottawa, ON), 1977, exh. cat., p. 222.

Note:

“In order to achieve a monumental effect, Oonark blends two scenes - the seated man and the parading birds - into one image. All is rendered in a monochrome silhouette, enlivened by coloured lines so placed as to give an impression of repose for the man and movement for the birds.”
