Further images
Elizabeth Nutaraaluk Aulatjut as an artist best known for deeply affecting images of mothers and children, with an aesthetic that leans toward Primitivism, while still achieving delicacy in her classic works. Here, in Mother Holding Child, Cupping Face, the composition is compact and upright, with the mother’s broad torso forming a sheltering wall. Her arms curve forward to create a cradle of negative space, pulling the child close. The child’s head becomes the focal point, gently framed by the mother’s hands.
