Corpus of Inuit Prints : Woodblock print (BAnQ)

Corpus of prints produced by Manuel Lau and published under the aegis of Puvirnituq Printshop. Since the inception of the Experimental Print Program in Cape Dorset, Puvirnituq has been one of four Inuit communities that has produced collections of prints on a regular basis. These works allow us to appreciate this practice of Inuit art which traditionally puts the world around it first. It includes, among other things, a tribute to the internationally renowned artist Davidialuk Alaasuaq Amittukinuit.

Corpus of Inuit prints: silkscreen (BAnQ)

This selection of prints illustrates screen printing practices within the Inuit community of Povungnituk during the 1980s, spurred on by the Cape Dorset art movement. This so-called contemporary artistic phase was characterized by a culture in full transition and coincided with the gradual “opening” of the North after the Second World War. This corpus highlights birds, marine mammals and land animals from the Arctic.
