  • LUCY QINNUAYUAK ᓗᓯ ᑭᓐᐅᐊᔪᐊ (1915-1982)
Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Avian subjects were returned to time and again by the artist, each visitation enlivened by marvelous variation. Over time her representations became more amorphous and surreal. Here the artist has given us a charming image of a mother and her young in which one rogue youth appears to have indulged in an attempt at flight (perhaps dance?) while its family looks on inquisitively.
