Lot Report

Note:

“Parr’s art is distinguished by the absence of narrative; his production is essentially a catalogue of Arctic elements. In this print, the artist does not hesitate to present contradictions. The running geese are flightless; they are summer geese, yet the man is dressed in winter garb and is presumably seated on the snow.”
Furneaux et al., Arts of the Eskimo: Prints, p. 76-77
