Davidee Itulu
Davidee Itulu (June 4, 1929 – April 15, 2006) was an Inuit artist.[1] Itulu was born in Tujjaat, near Cape Dorset, Nunavut.[2] He moved to Kimmirut in the 1950s.[2]
Itulu is known for his scrimshaw carvings, a technique he learned from James Houston.[2] His work often depicted animals native to the Arctic region, including seals,[3][4] geese,[3] bears,[4] birds,[5] whales,[6] fish,[7] and walruses.[8]
His work is included in the collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, National Gallery of Canada,[1] the University of Michigan Museum of Art,[9] the Canadian Museum of History,[10] the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge,[11] the Winnipeg Art Gallery[12] and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.[13] His disc number was E7-1042.[14]
Itulu died of cancer at age 76, in 2006.[15] He left behind a wife, Eva, and several children (daughters Elisapee, Lucy, Lau St. Laurent, Lallie, and Leesee, and sons Kulula, Charlie, Jimmie, Terry, Tommy, and Mark).[15]
