JESSIE OONARK, O.C., R.C.A. (1906-1985), ᔪᓯ ᐃᓇ, QAMANI’TUAQ (BAKER LAKE)
ICE FISHING
stone cut, 1969, 4/18, Minor imperfection inherent in paper. Overall very good condition.
Please contact the specialist for further condition information.
18 x 14.25 in — 45.7 x 36.2 cm
Provenance:
Estate of W.A. Ross MacFadden, Toronto, ON
Note:
From the first release of prints at the Sanavik Cooperative in Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake) in 1970 comes this raw and forceful 1969 print by Jessie Oonark. Seemingly a world away from the refined abstraction of Women, or Day Spirit printed the same year, the image Ice Fishing has a decidedly experimental character, exhibiting the spatially fractured image plane of earlier works by the artist such as the 1961 stonecut People of the Inland.
Published:
Canadian Eskimo Arts Council, Baker Lake prints/estamps, Ottawa, Ontario: Canadian Arctic Producers Limited, 1970. pl. 20.
