Kananginak Pootoogook (1935 - 2010) Son of the well-respected camp leader Josephie Pootoogook, Kananginak grew up in a traditional Inuit family and was raised to be a hunter and trapper. Inuit values, beliefs and ways of life hence become important themes in his art. In the late 1950s he settled in Kinngait (Cape Dorset), NU and quickly became known for his drawings and prints through the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative (WEBC) print program. Pootoogook became the first spokesperson of the WBEC and eventually became president of the Board of Directors. He believed printmaking and the graphic arts program in Kinngait provided opportunities for Inuit to create and establish new economic opportunities; Pootoogook was dedicated to making the program part of his community. Through the print program, Pootoogook learned to create engravings and lithographs, how to translate an artist’s drawing into prints and became one of the four original printers of the studio. From 1959 onwards, a selection of his prints were included in all but three annual catalogued collections. Besides excelling as a print maker, he created vivid, documentary-style drawings. His drawings are a lens through which viewers can see both positive and negative cultural changes in his community. Pootoogook used humor and subtlety to highlight the incongruous in the everyday and small, magical moments in nature. Signatures are part of the printing process. Greeting card type card opens up to write a letter. 6" x 9" Card comes with envelope and mylar sleeve. Image is a licensed print by CAP. Any questions? Please contact us
