KENOJUAK ASHEVAK, C.C., R.C.A. (1927-2013) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET) Ravens' Chorus, 2002 #21 Printmaker: QIATSUQ NIVIAQSI (1941-) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET) stonecut on cream coloured paper, 29.25 x 34.25 in (74.3 x 87 cm) 14/50 Provenance Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle. In Ravens’ Chorus, the design is deftly controlled and the colouration superb. Yellow and red-orange emanate from the centre of the sheet with the force of a blazing morning sun, filling the image with a heat that seems almost palpable as it radiates outward. Out of this veritable furnace of colour, a small raven in black asserts itself at once, its dark, compact form drawing and fixing our eye. This flock of ravens crowds together in a tight assembly, their heads tipped upward and their beaks slightly parted. It is this close packing of forms that gives the image its charge, as though the whole flock were seized by a single outpouring of call, chatter, and reply. ND
