Print1992.15

Commercially produced Robert Davidson print on a card in red and black on white background, depicting a bear design. The print illustrates a front view of the face, which has been split symmetrically down the centre. The face shows large, red nostrils and an open mouth with the teeth visible. In both top corners, there is a claw design with ' ovoid' socket. At bottom centre is a circular design, with thin yellow border, in very pale pink. It depicts, on smaller scale, same basic face design, but with protruding tongue. The silkscreen print the card is produced from is known as ' Bear Hugging the World' . Silkscreen prints are a recent development in Northwest Coast Native art, but they incorporate traditional design techniques and subject matter. The prints are often given away at potlatches as gifts from the host to the guests. Prints are also sold commercially to non-Native buyers. This card was designed by Robert Davidson, a Masset Haida artist. The design was taken from a silkscreen print, and used as an invitation to a Potlatch in Masset, hosted by the artist in October 1986. The card was only produced for this purpose, and represents a form of potlatch print; Complete
