Reviews

In 1959, Harvard alumnus Chauncey C. Nash (1884–1968) encountered Inuit carvings on a birding trip to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, and began to collect them, expanding to include prints made by Inuit artists in Cape Dorset (now Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada) between 1959 and 1967. Here Lutz provides ample context for the 60 prints and 210 sculptures that Nash donated to Harvard’s Peabody. The book tells the story of contemporary Inuit art, the Peabody Museum, Chauncey C. Nash’s life, and how Nash built his collection.
