Description
sanattiaqsimajut.gifspacer.gifOttawa’s Carleton University Art Gallery holds one of the richest Inuit art collections in the country. This profusely illustrated hardcover publication features over 100 works - each one reproduced in fill colour - ranging from sculpture to drawings and prints, all of which are “Sanattiaqsimajut”, or “things that are finely made”. Two major essays discussing the history of the collection and its many narrative threads are accompanied by thirty-three individual texts that take distinctive thematic, biographical and formal approaches. These essays are written by experts in the field including Patricia Feheley, Robert Kardosh, Christine Lalonde, Marybelle Mitchell, Judith Nasby, Crystal Parsons, Leslie Boyd Ryan, Pitaloosie Saila, Norman Vorano, Darlene Coward Wight and Norman Zepp. Sandra Dyck is curator at the Gallery and author of numerous studies on the collection. Ingo Hessel is curator at Toronto’s Museum of Inuit Art and author of 'Inuit Art: An Introduction'.
