| William Ronald Reid (AKA: Bill Reid) was a very important Canadian
sculptor, carver, print maker, graphic artist, jewellery maker,
illustrator, author and broadcaster. He elevated the stature of
Haida (Indian) art from the category of an ethnological curiosity to a
highly respected fine art form. Since his death, the degree of
his contribution to the 20th Century renaissance of Haida art and even
the authorship of some of his best known works has become
controversial. Ho (showing 500 of 11845 characters). |
