Description | 1870 – 1938 Charlie James was well-known for the revitalization of the Kwakwaka’wakw style of carving. His work had a strong, experimental style that appeared to be more free-formed. Unlike the previous generation of carvers, he used bright and vibrant colours while the figures appeared to be in a more natural state. Charlie’s creative influence laid the foundation for such renowned Northwest Coast artists; such as Mungo Martin, Ellen Neel and Henry Hunt. It epitomized what is considered by many to be the traditional southern Kwakwaka’wakw style. He was stepfather to Mungo Martin and mentored him into becoming an internationally-acclaimed artist in his own right. Charlie James’ work can be found in many public institutions and has been reproduced in numerous publications. |
