LATCHOLASSIE AKESUK (1919-2000), ᓚᓴᓚᓯ ᐊᑲᓱᒃ, E7-1055, CAPE DORSET / KINNGAITOWLstone, c. 197018 x 10 x 7 in — 45.7 x 25.4 x 17.8 cmProvenance:Calgary Galleries Ltd., Calgary, 1973,The Estate of Katerina Haka-Ikse, TorontoNote:Hulking, unusual bird-like creatures are the most admired and collected of Latcholassie’s works. Different from other artist’s naturalist or elegant renditions of birds, Latcholassie’s stark and minimalist style echoes that of his father Tudlik’s carvings. Using limited markings and scarce definition, his birds look lively with character and animation. In this way he demonstrates an ardent ability to achieve abstract expressiveness within a limited range or work. Estimate: $4,000—6,000
