Art Thompson 1975 Seal Pup Numbered Native American Print:
$440.00
This is a numbered and signed silkscreen print by legendary Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations artist Art Thompson. It is a 'Seal' design and measures 17 inches tall by 23 inches wide. It is from 1975.The seal is designed with a rounded snout and short flippers. Due to the fact that their flippers are not used in swimming, they are minimally defined in design. Seals are often depicted with salmon. Seal hunting was, and is, of great importance to the cultures of the West Coast. Seal meat was preserved for the winter, their bodies were rendered for oil and their inflated skins were used as floats during whaling expeditions. Due to the importance of seal meat as a food source, it is often interpreted as a symbol of wealth, plenty and good health.Art Thompson was largely a self-taught artist, but he did study with Nuu-chah-nulth artists Ron Hamilton and Joe David. From 1978 to 1981, he carved with Duane Pasco. Art studied commercial art at Camosun College in Victoria, BC, as well as at the Vancouver School of Art. He was greatly influenced by artists at the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art at 'Ksan in Hazelton, BC. Art produced many works including silkscreen prints, masks, totem poles, jewellery, bentwood boxes, and ceremonial puppets. His media included silver and gold, wood, deer hide, acrylic paint, and pastels. Sea creatures were one of his favourite subjects, and many of his print images were drawn from drum heads. The design Our Beginnings was created as the logo for the 1997 North American Indigenous Games. He is considered to be one of the great Nuu-chah-nulth artists of the 20th century. Art passed away in 2003.
