Northern Rock Susan Gustavison (1999) i know just by looking at the stone if it is hard or soft. My concernt is not really the hardness or the softness of the stone because I already know that. I want to be sure it is a good, solid piece of stone. I started carving when i was a child, using a file. my first carving was not for sale. It was for keeps. I wanted it for soemthing I could use as a toy. If I am carving in the winter, I baring the stone inside to warm it up before I start working on it. Then i start with the grinder before switching to files. i use the files in one direction only, pulling the tool towards me. when filing in a downward motion, it makes little holes in the stone. In the other direction, there are no holes left in the stone. And I also use the electric Dremel bits before I start the sanding process. Now when I am finished with the grinding and filing, one of my sons or daughters does all the sanding for me. I just sit back until the sanding is done. --------------- www.spiritwrestler.com A son of tribe leader Pootoogook, Kananginak trained in 1957 as one of the first printmakers, and since then he has contributed to virtually every Cape Dorset annual print release. He is noted for his careful renderings of birds, which earned him the nickname "Audubon of the Arctic." He was included in the important 1971—73 touring show "Sculpture/Inuit. Sculpture of the Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic." Recently, he embarked on a series of detailed narrative drawings that depict both traditional and contemporary Inuit life. He has received many honours, including election to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1980. His work is widely exhibited and held in many national and international collections, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. ------------------------- married to Shouyu, son of Pootoogook and Ningeookaluk, father of Johnny Pootoogook, brother of Eegyvudluk, Paulassie and Pudlat Pootoogook was involved in the initial stages of printmaking at Cape Dorset, working with James Houston, Oshaweetuk and a few other men on the first experiments. he has tried many techniques--SC, SC/S, St, SS, SSSC, Se, SR etching---in those years, producing the prints of other artists, including those of his father, the camp leader, Pootoogook, as well as his own. is also a stone blcok cutter, a technqie which handled with the skill not unexpected of a man who is also a superlative artists and sculptor. Today he continues to draw and carve, but does not participate in printmaking on a regular basis. ---------- Pootoogook, Kananginak Kananginak;Kanaginak; Technique: Printmaking;Sculpture Address: Cape Dorset Northwest Territories Canada Born: 01 January 1935 File Location: University of Calgary Library University of British Columbia - Fine Arts Library Winnipeg Art Gallery - Clara Lander Library McMichael Canadian Art Collection - Library and Archives London Public Library National Gallery of Canada - Library and Archives Art Gallery of Ontario - Edward P. Taylor Research Library and Archives Montreal Museum of Fine Arts - Library Vancouver Art Gallery - Library ------ Kananginak Pootoogook (Cape Dorset) B. 1935 From the first experimental work shops in Cape Dorset in 1957-58, Kananginak was regarded as part of the "new wave" of graphic artists for his particular and highly developed realist style, which was unique in Cape Dorset at that time. He has contributed annually to the print collections and was also an occasional printmaker until the late '70s. He excels in detailed depictions of wildlife, particularly birds, garnering him the title "the Audubon of the Arctic". Widely exhibited, both as a master sculptor and graphic artist, he was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1980. Among his many honours and achievements, four of the six images released internationally as the World Wildlife Fund Portfolio (1977) were by Kananginak. His work can be seen in many of the top North American collections, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. ------- Kananginak Pootoogook (b. 1935) Kananginak Pootoogook was born in 1935 at Ikeraksak, a small hunting camp, a small hunting camp outside Cape Dorset on Baffin Island's southwest coast. The ninth and youngest son of Ningiokoluk and her husband Pootoogook, the camp's respected leader, he was brought up to be a hunter and provider for his future family. In 1957 he moved with his parents to Cape Dorset, taking his wife Shooyoo and their daughter with him. There Kananginak met James Houston, who was then in the process of establishing the community's printmaking program. Kananginak was chosen by Houston to be one one of four men employed to cut images onto smoothed slabs of stone that could then be inked for transfer to paper. In 1961 he became the first president of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative, a position he held for the next 11 years. Around 1962 Kananginak began making his first drawings, eventually gaining a reputation for skilled draughtsmanship. One of the North's best wildlife artists, over the years Kananginak is estimated to have produced over 1300 drawings in total, while some 226 prints based on his images have been released. Still a resident of Cape Dorset and retired from the printshop since 1978, he continues to make drawings on a variety of themes. Kananginak is best known for his detailed drawings and prints of Arctic wildlife, in parcticular the region's abundant bird-life. Although his works often contain strong elements of stylization, it remains realistic by the standards of northern art, leading to frequent comparisons with the work of the American painter-naturalist James Audubon (1785-1851). Rarely taking legends or supernatural themes as his subject matter, in other works he has sought to recapture details of the lifestyle his forebears had known. Most recently he has shown an interest in portraying various episodes in the encounter between the northern and southern cultures. Despite his strongly narrative and even illustrational approach, Kananginak has developed a recognizable personal style founded upon a unique vision. ----- RCA "My father had a projection about the future, perhaps becausehe was one of the very first Inuit to lead in a religious way. By readingthe Old and New Testaments he saw clearly outlined that changes were comingto our part of the world, and my father used to say some Inuit will becomequite wealthy, like the Kabloona is in some ways, and that is true today.I think there will always be people who will not be able to really supportthemselves, and those who can. Before machines, the Inuit hunted with onlyharpoons, and in those days, some Inuit were better hunters than others,so some were better able to look after their families. I remember verywell that if one of the camps were short of food, that they would be helpedout by wealthier camps. I think this will always be true, regardless ofany cultural changes. ...Many times people look at me and think I can speak(English), by looking at my face." -------------- www.dorsetfinearts.com Kananginak has been involved with drawing and printmaking since the late 1950's when the West Baffin Co-operative first initiated the graphic arts program at Cape Dorset. Kananginak's first print, a collaborative image with his father, Pootoogook, was included in the first catalogued collection of Cape Dorset prints in 1959. Since that time, Kananginak's work has been included in almost every annual collection, and has been interpreted in many different print media - copper engraving, stonecut, stencil, lithograph and etching. Kananginak was an accomplished stonecut printmaker himself - in the early years he often proofed and editioned his own work. Kananginak and his siblings grew up in different camp areas on south Baffin Island. Their main camp was Ikirisaq where their father, Pootoogook, was the respected camp leader. Kananginak married Shooyoo from Cape Dorset in the mid-1950's. They lived at Ikirisaq until 1958 when they moved to Cape Dorset because of Pootoogook's failing health. Kananginak has been a prominent community leader. He was instrumental in the formation of the West Baffin Eskimo Co operative, and served for many years as President of its Board of Directors. He is also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts. In 1978, the World Wildlife Commission released a limited edition portfolio of works in which four of Kananginaks' images were included. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, in both public institutions and commercial galleries. He is also a notable sculptor. In 1997, Kananginak was commissioned by the Governor General of Canada, Romeo Leblanc, to construct an inuksuq in Cape Dorset, which was then dismantled and shipped to Ottawa. Kananginak and his son Johnny were then invited to Ottawa to re-assemble the inuksuq on the grounds of Rideau Hall as part of a tribute to Native people in Canada. From the beginning, Kananginak has represented Arctic wildlife in his work, often monumental in scale. He is especially capable at drawing the many species of birds that frequent the Arctic. He has also done many memorable images illustrating the material culture of the Inuit, and narrative drawings of camp and hunting scenes. This year Kananginak has again turned his attention to the natural environment; the 2005 collection includes six images of Arctic wildlife by one of Cape Dorset's most popular graphic artists. Kananginak Pootoogook lives in Cape Dorset with his wife Shooyoo and their family. ------ Kananginak has been involved with drawing and printmaking since the late 1950's when the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative first initiated the graphic arts program at Cape Dorset.

He is especially capable at drawing the many species of birds that frequent the Arctic. In more recent years he has focussed on the material culture of the Inuit, producing realistic, narrative drawings of camp and hunting scenes. This year Kananginak has again turned his attention to the natural environment; his depictions of the polar bear (Bears on Blue, 04-3) and the caribou (Shedding the Velvet, 04-5) are classic images enhanced by the graphic potential of the stonecut. Kananginak was born in 1935, and lives in Cape Dorset, in the Qikiqtaaluk region of Nunavut. --------- Sculpture, Drawing, Prints, Printmaking Kananginak was a part of the first Cape Dorset Print Collection in 1959 and has taken part in almost every collection since.His accurate depictions of birds and animals of the arctic have given him the nickname "The Audubon of the Arctic".In 1980 he was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts.

In this sculpture, each formal element — overall composition, texture, scale, material, finish, interior contours, and light and shade — contributes to the overall expressive effect of the sculpture. This is even more remarkable as Kananginak Pootoogook is sculpting an animal that he knows only through the medium of television. Since musk ox do not live in the Baffin region, he has undertaken this sculpture from memory. Kananginak Pootoogook has attained an international reputation for his abilities as a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor. He was one of the first in Cape Dorset to actively participate in the first experimental attempts at fine-art printing introduced to the community by James Houston in 1957. He continued as a printmaker until 1978, working in all media including stonecut, stencil, copper engraving, and silkscreen on fabric. Later he became proficient in lithography including executing his own drawings directly on the stone. He has established an international reputation as an artist for his close observation of nature and his sensitive rendering of animals and birds. For Kananginak Pootoogook, art — whether his sculptures or his hundreds of drawings and prints — is a means of keeping his Inuit traditions alive in the face of tremendous cultural pressures and change. He was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1980. Before starting to draw or sculpt, Kananginak likes to think through his visual ideas and have a clear image of the final product in his mind. For him, the reductive process of sculpture is less difficult than the additive process of drawing. In Musk Ox, the artist has expressed the massive bulk of the animal through the scale of the piece and the solid look of the lower legs and feet. At the same time, he achieves a sense of drama through the twist of the head and the swirling masses of the animal's thick, shaggy coat. The spectator can sense the force of an Arctic wind whipping with great ferocity around the stolid figure. The deep gouging of the stone, creating expressive light and dark areas in addition to contrasts in texture, add to the sculpture's overall excitement and drama. The artist's skill is also evident in the highly polished lustre of the stone. -----------Kananginak Pootoogook: Male artist (drawings, prints, printmaking, sculpture, & jewellery). Born: January 1,1935, lives in Cape Dorset. Has been involved in C.D Printmaking since its inception in 1959, worked with James Houston. He represents realistic Arctic wildlife and narrative drawings of camp and hunting scenes. Kananginak's work has been featured in galleries around the world. He was commissioned by Governor General Romeo Leblanc in 1997 to construct, on the grounds of Rideau Hall, an inuksuk as a tribute to Native Peoples of Canada. --------------- Kananginak Pootoogook, sculptor, designer, draughtsman, printmaker (b at Ikerrasak camp, South Baffin I, NWT 1935). Son of the great camp leader Pootoogook, he came to Cape Dorset in 1957. In 1958, when James HOUSTON brought PRINTMAKING to the North, he became one of the 4 original printers. Kananginak works in all media, but he excels as an engraver and lithographer, particularly of wildlife art, which he has mastered completely while retaining a personal style with definite abstract qualities. Recently, he has begun making baroquely detailed sculptures, exhibiting the same skill that he showed in his engravings. His sister Napatchie and brother Paulassie are also good artists. --------- KANANGINAK POOTOOGOOK (KANAGINAK) Born: January 1, 1935 Male E7-1168 Resides: Cape Dorset Drawings, Prints, Printmaking, Sculpture, Jewellery EXHIBITIONS: 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, Cape Dorset Graphics 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, (annual collection) 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, (illustrated catalogue) 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 1959, 1960, 1961, 1969, 1970, Cape Dorset Print Collection (printmaker) 1971, 1977, 1978 (annual collection) (illustrated catalogue) January - February 1963 ART ESKIMO Galerie de France Paris, France (illustrated catalogue) 1967 Inoonoot Eskima: Grafik och Skulptur fran Cape Dorset och Povungnituk Konstframjandet Stockholm, Sweden (catalogue) January - February 1967 Cape Dorset - A Decade of Eskimo Prints & Recent Sculpture National Gallery of Canada, in cooperation with the Canadian Eskimo Art Committee Ottawa, Ontario (tour) (illustrated catalogue) 1968 Eskimo Sculpture Man & His World, Arctic Pavilion Montreal, Quebec November - Dec 1968 Eskimo Carvings Waddington Montreal, Quebec (illustrated catalogue) September - Oct1970 Canadian Eskimo Arts Festival Alaska Methodist University Galleries Anchorage, Alaska, U.S.A.
