Description
‘High Play’ by Jessie Oonark, RCA, OC – Inuit Art – Baker Lake 1972 print collection presented by DaVic Gallery of Native Canadian Arts.
Condition: Very Good condition – professionally treated for paper handling marks.
Description by Artist: No description by artist found.
Notes from DaVic Gallery: and yet another amazing composition by Jessie Oonark giving us a capricious composition suggesting the communal igloo where seven people play games, dance, wrestle and perform athletic feats. Oonark is the first, and so far the only artist using colour over the whole surface of the image.
The blank sheet of letter-size (8.5” x 11”) paper covering part of the image in the last picture is for size reference.
