Cape Dorset Prints


So the place I was thinking of was Cape Dorset (on Baffin Island in Canada) It's an inuit community of I think around 1000 people at the most and yet, at least in the 60's they were producing an incredible number of prints. I found a book on the Cape Dorset artists in the library at CalArts in California and fell in love with their work. I'm not so hot about the more recent work I found on the web. But at least the older stuff I think is worth a look.
