In 1980, The Winnipeg Art Gallery had the privilege of purchasing the collection of 219 print-drawings dating from 1970 to 1976. This catalogue of the February 27 to April 17, 1983 exhibition presents a selection of these original drawings shown in juxtaposition to their companion prints.
This juxtaposition allows the viewer to compare both works, taking note of the changes made in translating a particular graphic image from one medium to another.ย Through this juxtaposition, minor, or at times radical, changes in terms of colour, texture and imagery become apparent.
Each of the artists and printmakers featured in the exhibition and this catalogue made significant contributions toward the development of Baker Lake prints. Yet the generic reference to โBaker Lakeโ art often overlooks the distinctive styles of the 36 individuals who at the time comprised the Sanavik Cooperative. Thus, the works are grouped by artist rather than in chronological order. Due to space limitations, only 39 pairs of prints and print-drawings by 19 artists were included in the exhibit and in this catalogue.
