About the Artist

(1911-1999) This Cape Dorset artist was known for his distinctive representations of birds using a green stone, shaping their wings into very thin blade-like forms. His birds have an individualized stance, yielding a personality that is unique to each.

Arctic Spirit Inuit Art from the Albrecht Collection at the Heard Museum contains an example of Etungat's work illustrated over an entire page, magnificently in color.
