Over six decades of brilliant prints and paintings from the most
prominent Northwest Coast artist of his generation. Since leaving
Haida Gwaii to study art in Vancouver-where he carved argillite
with Bill Reid in a department store and hand-sold prints on the
UBC campus-Guud sans glans, Robert Davidson has moved between two
worlds. As a host of Potlatches, carver of masks and totem poles,
and performer and teacher of traditional Haida songs and dances, he
has been one of the driving forces in the resurgence of Haida
culture in the aftermath of colonization. As an artist working in
serigraphs, acrylic, wood, silver, and aluminum to preserve and
breathe new life into Haida formline, he has become among the most
respected, celebrated, and thrilling artists in the country, if not
the world. Echoes of the Supernatural is the first publication in
over forty years to offer a comprehensive visual retrospective of
his astonishing career. It includes new photography of over 150
prints, as well as images of over fifty paintings; numerous painted
woven hats, painted and carved sculptures, jewellery, aluminum
sculpture; and dozens of archival photos. His long-time gallerist
Gary Wyatt, who worked closely with Davidson in shaping the book
and received full access to his archives, details the artist's life
and career, and offers insights on the work based on extensive new
interviews. A foreword by Karen Duffek situates the contours of
Davidson's practice within the broader Northwest Coast art world.
