From Drawing to Print: Perception and Process in Cape Dorset Art.
LaBarge, Dorothy
Since the early 1950s when artist and government administrator, James Houston, invited groups of Inuit to draw on paper, a treasury of Inuit drawings and prints have been produced. This publication explores the relationship between the artists' drawings and their finished prints during 1960-1965 print program at Cape Dorset, Alberta, Canada. The artists discuss the meaning of their work as a function apart from the aesthetic image. Stonecut, stencil and print techniques are described and discussed. Reproductions of drawings and prints by Cape Dorset Inuit artists, Kiakshuk, Pitseolak Ashoona, Parr, Kenojuak Ashevak, and Padluq Pudlat (Pudlo), are presented. Brief biographies of these artists and printers, Lukta Qiatsuk, Eegyvadluk Pootoogook, Iyola Kingwatsiak, and Kananginak Pootoogook, are given. A bibliography and exhibition catalogue listing conclude the document. (NP)
