1974 Munson Gallery Eskimo Art Poster

The print appears to be woodcut or so rather than offset.
Any chance to ID the artist who made it?

 

That's a poster....advertising a gallery show.....

but...as for the design used.......before Mark London shows up saying this wasn't much of a challenge because she's so recognizable in her work , and so famous...

Oonark, Inuit (Femme a la belle charelure), limited edition print.( but not the one posted here..! )

Jessie Oonark, OC RCA ( ᔨᐊᓯ ᐅᓈᖅ; 2 March 1906 - 7 March 1985) was a prolific, influential CanadianInuitartist of the UtkuhihalingmiutUtkuhiksalingmiutwhose wall hangings, prints and drawings are in major collections including the National Gallery of Canada. She was born in 1906 in the Chantrey Inlet(Tariunnuaq) area,[3] near the estuary of the Back River in the Keewatin District of the Northwest Territories[4]:4 (now Nunavut)—the traditional lands of theUtkukhalingmiutUtkukhalingmiut, Utkukhalingmiut (the people of the place where there is soapstone). Her artwork portrays aspects of the traditional hunter-nomadic life that she lived for over five decades, moving from fishing camp near the mouth of Back River on Chantrey Inlet in the Honoraru[1]:3 area to their caribou hunting camp in the Garry Lake area,[1]:10 living in winter snow houses (igloos) and caribou skin tents in the summer.[5] Oonark learned early how to prepare skins and sew caribou skin clothing. They subsisted mainly on trout (lake trout and Arctic char), whitefish, and barren-ground caribou.[6] The knife used by women, the ulu, their clothing, the kamik, the amauti were recurring themes in her work.[1] Oonark has had a major museum retrospective with accompanying scholarly monograph.[7] Despite a late start - she was 54 years old when her work was first published - she was a very active and prolific artist over the next 19 years, creating a body of work that won considerable critical acclaim and made her one of Canada's best known Inuit artists.

 

What he said

 

Thanks a bunch.
So, the poster was not created for original the event. Then must be reprint. Any resale value?

 

No, the poster was made to advertise the show.....how many and how many remain....is a mystery !!

That's hard to say....the condition looks a little warped..& I can't see if the poster was trimmed......but an Oonark fan may be willing to cough up 30 to 40 bucks....for it's design & age....! ??

 

I'm one of the biggest Oonark fans out there. I have something like 25 of her works including a couple of rare posters. Given that the OP's poster is not artist signed and in bad condition, I'd put value in the $20 range, maybe double that if it can be safely removed from the flame and successfully flattened.

 

Thanks for the input. I'll double check for signature but even signed seems like it will be under $100.
At least I learnt a bit about the artist. I admit, never heard of her before.

 

Which is why me seeing this thread 5 minutes before you was like..." Mark's gonna be here soon so I better post quick !! " ....

Kardi....now you know new stuff....for the next time you see one !
