Indigenous Art And Garden

This was seen in yesterday's post. A Brief History Of Northwest Coast Design is by Luke Parnell.


The accompanying panel tells a bit about it, and identifies the artifact in a display case following it.


In the background of the above shot one sees a portion of this work. This is it in full. Inuit artist Jessie Oonark created this drawing in 1966-69, titled When The Days Are Long And The Sun Shines Into The Night.


Stepping out of this room and through a side door takes us into one of the two interior courtyards of the National Gallery. This one has a garden that is a visual delight.

  1. That is an interesting painting. Is that a straw hat or a lamp shade?

  21. The garden in the courtyard is lovely, I like the way the light catches the path:)

  22. yes, this was very interesting. I really enjoy viewing as much art as possible, new and old. I live close to a college where their art program is unbelievable and I try to get there almost every week, and at least catch every new display that they feature. Best part is trying to understand what they thought when they created it and what they want the viewer to believe!
