"Swallowed by a Wolf". Jessie Oonark. 1970

I post a lot of pre-modern-era art from European artists. So, I thought I'd mix it up a bit with this work by Inuit artist Jessie Oonark.

Image description: Work is on paper. Forms are defined by bold swatches of color. The main figure is a side profile of the green head of a wolf, with brown eye and an open mouth filled with point black teeth. In the mouth of the wolf is a man. His purple-brown legs stick out of the wolf's mouth. His torso is visible through the wolf's mouth as a white man-shape. A smaller animal's head--maybe another wolf-- is defined by an orange outline. The orange animal has its nose touching the throat of the green wolf. Its teeth are also showing. Below the artwork is the title, caption, and signature of the artist.
