Abstract:
Napatchie Pootoogook is the only surviving daughter of one of Inuit art's most important figures, Pitseolak Ashoona. In the 1950s she married Eegyvukluk Pootoogook (b. 1931), son of the important camp leader, Pootoogook, who has since become one of the main printers in the Cape Dorset studio. Since 1960, Napatchie's work has been included in almost every annual collection of Cape Dorset prints. Although much of her early work presents a lyrical, dream-like reflection of Inuit beliefs in the spirit world, the main thrust of her prints and drawings since the mid-1970s has been more concerned with recording traditional life, clothing and local Inuit history.
