  • SHARNI POOTOOGOOK ᓴᓂ ᑭᑐᒍ (1922-2003)
Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Sharni Pootoogook is known for her sometimes whimsical images, as here where a mother’s smiling face emerges from the billowing garment forward of her petulant frowning child. The mother’s amauti is alive with a cascade of fine short lines giving texture and form to the garment.

Pootoogook was from a family of talented artists including husband Pudlat Pootoogook, daughter Sarah Putuguk, adopted son Elijah Pootoogook and sister-in-law Kananginak Pootoogook.
