Winnipeg: Winnipeg Art Gallery, 1980. First Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 0889150850. Catalogue for an exhibition held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery August 9 to October 26, 1980. "The depiction of mother and child is a popular and recurrent subject among Inuit artists. Although addressing the theme of maternity, the current exhibition is basically concerned with the artist's rendering of the amautik, the traditional parka of the Inuit woman. Incorporating a pouch at the back designed to carry a baby, the amautik was traditionally worn by every Inuit woman regardless of marital or maternal status. In adopting the amautik, or 'mother's parka', a young woman took on the symbol of her fundamental responsibility within Inuit society: to provide for the regeneration of human life." - Introduction. 128 glossy pages profusely illustrated with black and white photos, plus some in colour. Glossary. Footnotes. Bibliography. Unmarked with moderate wear. Binding sound. A quality copy of this wonderful reference. ; 4to. Good .
