Parr, ᐸ
THE WALRUS HUNT
PARR (1893-1969), ᐸ, E7-1022, CAPE DORSET / KINNGAIT
THE WALRUS HUNT
stonecut, 1963, 47/50, framed, sight
13 x 22.75 in — 33 x 57.8 cm
Note:
Parr’s work is distinguished by his direct and rugged designs. Encouraged to draw by Terry Ryan in 1960, Parr could no longer sustain himself as a hunter due to age and poor health. In drawing, he and his wife Eleeshushe found not just a means of expression but also a way to support themselves.
Estimate: $1,000—1,500
