This vivid, in-depth biography describes the remarkable journey of Raymond Brousseau, an unconventional artist and collector whose discovery of Inuit art was a revelatory experience that guided his life’s work, leading to the creation of the Brousseau Inuit Art Collection recently presented to the Musée national des beaux-arts in Quebec City. Evoking all the beauty and diversity of the cultures of the North, John R. Porter captures the truly free spirit of a pioneer in his field.
Coedition with the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec published both in English and in French.
