Creation and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art

The collection of Inuit art held by the Winnipeg Art Gallery is internationally renowned for its geographic range, diverse media, and size. The WAG celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012-13, and this book captures the excitement of the Gallery's major 2012 exhibition. Creation and Transformation describes the genesis and evolution of contemporary Inuit art from 1949 to the present day, from carvers in the 1950s to today’s graphic artists.
