Provenance:

Private Collection, Winnipeg, MB

Note:

"Apart from the migration scene, most of Joe's sculptures are single figures, frontal view, staring solemnly at the viewer. Crudely worked, and largely unpolished, they have a rustic, expressive appeal."

Maria von Finckenstein, Celebrating Inuit art, Canadian Museum of Civilization, 1999, p. 90
