This artwork titled "Aggressive Muskox" 1984 is an original color etching with aquatint on Wove paper by noted Canadian/Inuit artist Pudlo Pudlat, 1916-1992. It is hand signed, titled, dated. described, located and numbered 1/25 in pencil by the artist. The plate mark (image) size is 8 x 9.75 inches, framed size is 16.5 x 18.35 inches. Custom framed in a metal gold frame, with light brown fabric matting. it is in excellent condition. About the artist: Pudlo Pudlat, graphic artist (born 4 February 1916 in Kamadjuak Camp, Baffin Island, NWT; died 28 December 1992 in Cape Dorset, NWT). One of the most original contemporary Inuit artists, Pudlo Pudlat included in his imagery icons of the modern technology that has brought such profound changes to the Canadian North. Working in a combination of acrylic wash and coloured pencils, at his death he had completed 4,500 drawings, around 200 of which had been turned into prints, and several sculptures. Until Pudlo was six years old, he and his family lived near Coral Harbour and later moved to the Lake Harbour region, now called Kimmirut. Until he was in his 40s, he lived as a semi-nomadic hunter and fisherman, travelling along the southwest coast of Baffin Island. In the late 1950s, Pudlo moved to Kiaktuuq, near Cape Dorset, in order to recover from tuberculosis. It was there that he met James Houston, founding director of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative, and began making art. Encouraged by Houston and then by Houston’s successor, Terry Ryan, he started out carving, but found it difficult because of an arm injury and switched to drawing in 1959 or 1960. Eventually, Pudlo practiced printmaking, painting with acrylic paint and drawing with graphite pencils, coloured pencils and felt-tip markers. Pudlo was in a unique position to witness the transformations of traditional Inuit life in the 1950s, from a semi-nomadic lifestyle to a settled one, and also by the introduction of modern technology into the Arctic. This transformation is depicted in his art. In Pudlo’s work, airplanes, helicopters and telephone poles enter into strange interactions with the Arctic landscape and its animals. A muskox rider lassoing an airplane or a loon steering a motorboat are examples of his juxtapositions. In many ways Pudlo's work symbolizes the paradoxes of the encounter between Inuit and Western culture. In an untitled painting from the 1980s, for instance, there is a cluster of simple houses in the foreground; in the middle ground there is a telephone pole and an antenna set on immense boulders, and along the treeless horizon are two hunters dark and barely discernible, wielding spears and knives. Above it all are two jets amidst the sky and blue clouds. The painting partly illustrates a strange surrealism that occurs when the traditional lifestyle of the Inuit is set in the context of modern technologies and amenities. In the colour drawing from 1990, Old and New, hunters in canoes paddle across the water toward a gigantic goose surrounded by her goslings, a jet swooping above them. In Old and New what one most notices is not just the comically huge goose but the almost comic difference in scale between modern technologies, the natural world and human beings. Pudlo Pudlat’s works are in the collections of most Canadian museums, including the National Gallery of Canada, and some international institutions. His art has been featured in solo exhibition across Canada, the United States and Europe. In 1990, the National Gallery of Canada organized a retrospective exhibition of his drawings, Pudlo: Thirty Years of Drawing, and mounted another major exhibition, Pudlo Pudlat: A Celebration, in 1993. In the same year, there was a solo exhibition of his work, Pudlo Pudlat: A Meeting of Cultures, at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

By Peter Moran

Located in San Francisco, CA

This artwork titled "A Burro Train, New Mexico" 1880 is an original etching on Laid paper by noted British/American artist Peter Moran, 1841-1914. It is signed in the plate as issue. The plate mark (Image) size is 9.15 x 6.5 inches, framed size is 14.75 x 18.75 inches. It is framed in a wooden silver frame, with light grey matting. It is in excellent condition, especially considering the age. I like to mention that example of this particular etching is held in the following museums, including, The Toledo Museum Of Art, Toledo, The British Museum, London and The Smithsonian Museum Of Art, Washington D.C. It was also illustrated in American Art Review, volume #2 1881, page 163. About the artist: The younger brother of Thomas Moran, Peter Moran was a painter-etcher best known for his Romantic sensibility and landscape compositions incorporating animals. The Moran family immigrated to the United States from England in 1844, when Peter was three. He began his artistic career as an apprentice to a lithographic firm and eventually studied painting with his brothers Edward and Thomas. He was influenced by the animal paintings of Rosa Bonheur and Constant Troyon and visited England in 1863 to see those of Edwin Landseer. Moran took up etching in 1874, using that medium to record genre scenes that he observed while traveling in New Mexico and Arizona in 1881 on an ethnographic expedition to study Pueblo Indian culture. He later returned to the Southwest in 1890 as an artist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1882, Moran joined Henry R. Poore, an artist friend, on a visit to Taos Pueblo where the two were given a room and spent a week watching the activities associated with the harvest. Poore recounted the details of their travels in an article titled "A Harvest with the Taos Indians...
