Bill Reid
Cultural Background: Haida/Scottish-German, Kaadaas gaah Kiiguwaay, Raven/Wolf Clan of T'anuu
One of Canada’s foremost artists, Haida artist Bill Reid, an outstanding gold and silversmith turned sculptor, was proclaimed a National Living Treasure and was instrumental in inspiring a people to reclaim their cultural heritage.
Collected internationally and much-honored, Bill Reid created, among his best known sculptures, The Spirit of Haida Gwaii at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. (The Black Canoe, 1991) and at the Vancouver International Airport (The Jade Canoe, 1996).
Building upon the broad range of his expression, Bill Reid translated his original designs of animal crests into limited editions silk screen or woodcut prints and drawings. This is a reproduction of one of those drawings.

Origine Culturelle: Haida/Scottish-German, Kaadaas gaah Kiiguwaay, Raven/Wolf Clan of T'anuu
Canadien d'ascendance haida et écossaise, Bill Reid est aujourd'hui reconnu comme l'un des plus grands maîtres de l'art contemporain de la côte nord-ouest. On lui attribue d'avoir renouvelé un art d'une richesse prodigieuse qui était en voie de s'éteindre. Depuis longtemps déjà son travail fut applaudi en ce qu'il relève d'une connaissance approfondie et d'une analyse subtile de la tradition artistique haida.
Collectionné internationalement, on compte parmi ses œuvres maîtresses, « L’Esprit de Haida Gwaii », surnommée « La Pirogue Noire » située sur le parvis de l’Ambassade Canadienne à Washington D.C. (1991) et son double à couleur jade, exposé à l’aéroport international de Vancouver (1996). Ses œuvres couvrent une vaste gamme d’expression artistique allant de la sculpture aux bijoux, de la gravure sur bois à la sérigraphie dont les sujets souvent représentent des créatures mythiques haida, ou des blasons nobiliaires animaux. Cet exemple en est la reproduction.
