Angotigolu Teevee, Spirits Reaching for the Moon |
Holiday greetings from
Alaska on Madison
As we approach the New Year, we wish you a joyous holiday season, and a happy and healthy new year.
The image on the right might be entitled "New Year's Revelers in Times Square," with its riotous, obviously happy creatures. This was one of the twelve prints created by Angotigolu Teevee between 1961 and 1964 and included in the annual Cape Dorset print collections. This was a period of unbridled creativity, and Angotigolu's creatures frequently combined both realistic and fantastic features, as in this print. Angotigolu died in 1967, so we will never know how she and Kenojuak Ashevak would have interacted as both of them matured, spurring one another to greater flights of fancy.
The image below should leave your mouth watering for a holiday meal. Sheojuk Etidloie has used a number of drying Arctic char filets, individually rendered with great realism, to create an abstract image of abundance.
