Jimmy Inaruli Arnamissak (Inuit, 1946-2003) - Soapstone Carving of Figure with Fish, also known as Jimmy Smith, he was active and lived in Canada. Signed on bottom with Official # E9-962.
Arnamissak’s detailed carvings, with their smooth contours and compact arrangements, convey a strong sense of activity and narrative.
Inuit carving as we know it today dates from the late 1940s and early 1950s, thanks to the enthusiasm of a young artist from Ontario, James Huston, and the Canadian Handicraft Guild’s “Eskimo Project.” The Project was designed to encourage the development of handicrafts as an additional source of income in Inuit communities.
