Some will recognize Donat's name and style from his ceramic work, but we contend that this bear belongs in that sample of recognition. Carved form the hard local stone found around Kangiqliniq, Bear has stocky legs and a simple face, almost a caricature of a bear, much like his ceramic work.
Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.
