Description:
"Indian artists from British Columbia coastal villages (primarily those of the Haida, Tsimshian, Nishga, Gitksan, West Coast (Nootka), and Kwagiutl) have been making silkscreen prints for little more than a decade. While their work has roots in an ancient painting tradition created by their forefathers, it is a new art--new images, a new medium, new messages, created in the new context of sale to primarily non-Indian customers." The booklet has 9 colour images, 3 versions of the She Bear in black-and-white and Marriage Announcement, 1969 in b/w. In Marjorie Halpin's "Conclusion", she states: "What I have been saying is that Haida art is alive again. Still Haida, yet thoroughly contemporary. In Davidson's prints, I believe, we are witnessing an exceptional artistic achievement--the re-creation of a once-dead, or certainly slumbering, traditional art form in a new cultural context. "
