This experience deeply influenced his art, where game animals like fish, caribou, and muskoxen frequently appear. Interestingly, rather than illustrating the act of fishing, Anguhadluq focuses solely on two fish, absent of any human presence. This choice seems to highlight, or even pay tribute to, the vital importance of these animals during the summer months.Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.
