“I am often asked what is the most memorable photograph I have
ever taken. This is difficult to decide because many photos meant
personal involvement. My Inuit photos to me are most meaningful.
They were taken under difficult conditions. I came to know the
people. We lived together and shared hardships.” —Richard
Harrington, 1998. German-born Richard Harrington (1911–2005) was
a renowned documentary photographer. He traveled to more than 120
countries, and his work has appeared in the Toronto Star, Life,
Look, National Geographic, Paris Match, Der Stern and Parade
Magazine. Some of his most memorable photographs were captured
between 1948 and 1953, when Harrington took five expeditions to the
Arctic. His work documents not only the transitioning lifestyles of
the locals, as western influences encroached on traditional ways of
living, but also a terrible famine that struck the Padleimuit in
the Northwest Territories in 1950 — when the caribou, the main
source of food for the Padleimuit, did not follow their usual
migration path. The moving photographs from this series document
dignity, acceptance and love in the face of starvation. Richard
Harrington: Arctic Photography is a curated selection of some of
Harrington’s most stirring and compelling photographs from his
years in the Arctic. With an introduction by renowned curator and
artist Gerald McMaster and a short biography written by Stephen
Bulger, the primary representative of Harrington’s estate, this
collection of masterful photographs is an important and timely
re-examination of Harrington’s work in the face of a changing
climate and renewed Indigenous activism.
