KENOJUAK ASHEVAK, C.C., R.C.A. (1927-2013)
Provenance:
Estate of W.A. Ross MacFadden, Toronto, ON
Note:
In a delightful visual pun Kenojuak Ashevak gives us this sparely rendered but voluminous owl mirrored by an unlikely man-made counterpart in the form of a solitary igloo. Originally released in a set of six engravings, and limited to an addition of fifty, it was included in the 1967 Kinngait (Cape Dorset) print release. A charming example of the artist’s humor, and gift for economy in expression.
