CAPE DORSET ORIGINAL DRAWINGS
Until recently the purpose of an original drawing in Cape Dorset was primarily a source of imagery for the print program. In the 1950’s James Houston introduced the traditional Japanese woodblock practice of Ukiyo-e, where an artist’s drawing is given to a master printer to create a print edition. This method required a good stock of Inuit drawings to choose from and the newly established West Baffin Eskimo Co-op distributed papers and pencils to anyone in the community who was interested in trying their hand at it. The success of the Cape Dorset annual print collections has ensured a continual demand for Inuit drawings.
