Private collection, United States

Note:

Known for his distinctive and often anthropomorphic sculptures of birds, Latcholassie was the son of renowned Kinngait (Cape Dorset) artist Tudlik. While Latcholassie’s gift for abstraction and choice of birds as subject matter may have been influenced by the creations of his gifted father, his emphasis on transformational imagery and asymmetrical composition are all his own.

CONDITION DETAILS
