MITCHELL, E.H.; VAN DE VELDE, FATHER F. - Canadian Inuit Artifacts

Ottawa, Canada: Canadian Arctic Producers Co-operative Limited, 1981. Revised Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 0920234348. "The Eskimo creates a thousand and one things of his daily life. All with the alive quality and exact precision which stems from his living character and intellect. I believe this to be the only secret of a true artist. He has but to remove the excess parts of his model such as stone, bone, antler or ivory to show us what he has already seen in the abstract. This explains the perfection with which he fashions his working tools and hunting implements. But read through the following pages of this catalogue, read the descriptions, they are convincing by themsleves." - Introduction.
