Abstract (English)"This magnificent monograph accompanies the exhibition Nick Sikkuark: Humour and Horror - the first retrospective on this unconventional and imaginative Inuk artist. Richly illustrated, it includes more than a hundred reproductions of Nick Sikkuark's drawings, sculptures and paintings, along with texts featuring a multitude of voices. Sikkuark's own words are accompanied by insightful essays by curator Christine Lalonde and historian David F. Pelly, along with a photo essay by the artist's daughter Helen Sikkuark Niptayok. Conversations with other individuals with first-hand knowledge and appreciation of Sikkuark's art illustrate intersections between his community and the art world. This beautiful book commemorates the remarkable legacy of this influential leader, who contributed to his community and the art world at large. It serves as an invaluable source of research and commentary on Sikkuark's life and art."--Publisher's description Edit this item (login required): |
