About This Item
"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. "
