In his impulse lecture, art historian Dr. Bart Pushaw uses the settlement of Pannirtuuq (Pangnirtung) as an example to illuminate the complex art production in the Arctic of the 1930s. Featuring the artworks by the noted painters (of the Group of Seven) Lawren Harris and A. Y. Jackson, it is shown how their works romanticize the presence of the Inuit or erase their social and ecological displacement. This contrasts the everyday reality of Inuit peoples and the vibrant, contemporary modernism of their art.
Feel free to use the chat for questions. Dr. Bart Pushaw will answer them after his lecture. Part of the series THE MYTH OF THE CANVAS. NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE REPRESENTATION OF THE ARCTIC IN MODERN TIMES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE MAGNETIC NORTH Open now!
