Book of 30 Postcards - Inuit Art Birds
£7
(€10.50)
Cape Dorset - called Kinngait in the Inuit language, Inuktitut,
for the area's high, rolling hills - is a thriving community
on southwestern Baffin Island, in the Canadian Arctic Territory
of Nunavut. The community is renowned for the wonderful
Inuit art that flows from its cooperatively owned printmaking
studios, now active for more than forty years. This book
of postcards presents thirty reproductions of lithographs,
etchings/aquatints, stonecuts, and stencils from the artists
of the Kinngait studios. Elegant, eloquent, and filled with
quiet power, they amount - individually and collectively
- to a strong and buoyant statement of Inuit cultural traditions.
