Man [Men] Pulling Walrus reflects Parr's experiences as a traditional hunter, depicting men hauling in a walrus with dynamic, expressive lines. Parr's work is known for its raw energy and authenticity, capturing the essence of Inuit life and survival. His art, produced during a brief but intense period, offers valuable insights into the cultural practices of his community.
