Wabanaki modern : the artistic legacy of the 1960s "Micmac Indian Craftsmen" = Wabanaki Kiskukewey : Natawitekemkewe'k naqtmi'tipp 1960s "Mi'kmawe'k L'nu'k Natawiteka'tij" = Wabanaki moderne : héritage artistique des Micmac Indian Craftsmen des années 1960 / by Hassencahl-Perley, Emma,author.; Hassencahl-Perley, Emma,author.; Leroux, John,1970-author.; Beaverbrook Art Gallery,publisher,host institution.; Container of (work):Micmac Indian Craftsmen.Works.Selections.;
Includes bibliographical references."The "Micmac Indian Craftsmen" of Elsipogtog (then known as Big Cove) rose to national prominence in the early 1960s. At their peak, they were featured in print media from coast to coast, their work was included in books and exhibitions--including at Expo 67--and their designs were featured on prints, silkscreened notecards, jewelry, tapestries, and even English porcelain. Primarily self-taught, deeply rooted in their community, and fluent Mi'kmaw speakers, they were among the first modern Indigenous artists in Atlantic Canada. Inspired by traditional Wabanaki stories, they produced an eclectic range of handmade objects that were sophisticated, profound, and eloquent. By 1966, the withdrawal of government support compromised the Craftsmen's resources, production soon ceased, and their work faded from memory. Now, for the first time, the story of this ground-breaking co-operative and their art is told in full. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery opening in 2022, Wabanaki Modern features essays on the history of this vibrant art workshop, archival photographs of the artisans, and stunning full-colour images of their art."--
