WOMAN PLAYING AN ACCORDION
PAULOOSIE KARPIK (1911-1988), E6-187, PANGNIRTUNG
WOMAN PLAYING AN ACCORDION
stone, c. 1968, disc number inscribed
3.5" x 4" x 3.5" — 8.9 x 10.2 x 8.9 cm.
Provenance:
Collection of James Bisback & Jonny Kalisch, Shakespeare, ON
Note:
Although, the skin drum is the traditional instrument of the Inuit, when the first visitors came to the north, they were introduced to other instruments such as fiddles and accordions. Since then, accordion playing and folk music has become a tradition in parts of the Eastern Arctic. This anecdotal work depicts a musician enjoying her pastime and serves as evidence of the musical acculturation of the Inuit.
Estimate: $400—600
