MATTIUSI IYAITUK (1950-) IVUJIVIK
Torso, 1996stone, 4.625 x 2.75 x 2.25 in (11.7 x 7 x 5.7 cm)
titled, signed, and dated, "TORSO / ᒪᑎᐅᓯ / 96".
Mattusi Iyaituk's artistic exploration of the human body in the present "Torso," 1996 recalls the creative epiphany of the finest 19th sculptors, including Auguste Rodin. Though it is curio-cabinet appropriate in its size, the softly arched back and active stance — albeit with truncated limbs reminiscent of the marbles of Greek and Roman antiquities — of the present work convey a powerful sense of movement.Further images
