Book Description :
Northwest Coast Kwakwakawakw art is renowned for its flamboyant, energetic, and colorful carving and painting. Among the best-known practitioners was Doug Cranmer, whose style was understated, elegant, fresh, and unique and whose work quickly found an international following in the 1960s. Named Kesu, or Wealth Being Carved, as a child, he was an early player in the global, commercial art market and one of the first Native artists in British Columbia to own his own gallery. A long-time teacher, he inspired generations of young Native artists in Alert Bay and beyond.This beautifully illustrated book is a record of the art, life, and influence of a man who called himself a "whittler" or "doodler" but who embodied "indigenous modern" well before the term had been coined. He pioneered abstract and non-figurative paintings using Northwest Coast ovoids and U-shapes
