CURATOR'S CHOICE
This carving is a Curator's Choice because . . .
The viewer learns about daily Inuit life.
You can't stop tapping your foot.
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON is relevant because the Inuit love fiddling.
Seriously! Is your tapping as you watch the bow tickling the strings?
Few artists have this visceral effect on the viewer.
Matt Tunnillie is one of these artists.
And The Band has so much personality.
He is large and square and proudly holds his fiddle high on his shoulder.
His upper body is much larger than his legs giving him a bit of a cartoonish appearance.
But this Inuk is a serious musician.
How can such a big hand with big fingers wield such a delicate bow without breaking it?
This scene has a magical quality. It ranks as one of Tunnillie's most delightful works of art.
This is your opportunity to own a timeless Inuit sculpture from a respected and talented carver.
