Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

To celebrate, we’re taking a closer look at 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘰𝘨 by renowned Kinngait artist Kananginak Pootoogook (1935–2010), from the Kinngait Drawing Archive.

Kananginak was best known for his sensitive, highly detailed depictions of Arctic wildlife — particularly birds — and for the gentle humour he often brought to his subjects. 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘰𝘨 offers a glimpse into another dimension of northern life: the essential relationship between people and the animals who made life in the Arctic possible.

One of the founding figures of the Kinngait graphic arts movement, Kananginak began drawing and printmaking in the late 1950s, with work included in the very first annual Cape Dorset print collection in 1959. His legacy endures through the thousands of drawings preserved in the Kinngait Drawing Archive.

🐶 “Girl with a Dog, Lower Saint Lawrence,” 1905, exemplifies the masterful ability of William Brymner to depict the subtle yet profound relationship between a pet and its human companion using an impressionistic style.

🐾 Happy International Dog Day.
