Object History
Drawings were created in the early 1970s by Roy James Hanuse who was a Kwakwaka'wakw artist known for working in the traditional Kwakwaka'wakw style. Roy was born in 1943 in Bella Bella and lived at Rivers Inlet (Owikeno), British Columbia. Largely self-taught, Roy became interested in his cultural heritage while attending school in Alert Bay in the 1950s. Roy began painting in 1966 and wood carving in 1968. Some highlights of his art career included selling four paintings to the University of British Columbia which were later published in Audrey Hawthorn's "Kwakiutl Art Book" (1979) and carving a 12-foot totem for the Denver Art Museum (1972) and two totem poles that he carved for the Montreal Olympics (1976). Roy James Hanuse died in 2007.
