4" Dancing Bear by Mosesee Pootoogook *Gatsby* Inuit Painting 1994 Mythic ImageInuit art: Dancing Bear Inuit Artist: Mosesee Pootoogook Size: 5" tall, 3" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU 19 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa AL7331Nacjy When a small bear is carved in a deep, dark colour, magic happens! Every curve is exaggerated. Each pointed nose becomes even more pointed. Look at Gatsby's front paws. See how each claw stands out against the background. Now look at his right leg and his back. Doesn't Gatsby look like a dancing shadow?
