Provenance:

Private collection, Massachusetts

Note:

An artist with a gift for complex and lively compositions, here Paulassie Pootoogook has directed his considerable talents to a largely stationary musk ox. The sole implication of movement in the work is found in a masterful articulation of the creature’s taut musculature and upturned howling head. The gentle curves of the body are set off by a highly polished and lustrous surface.
