Opening: Doug Cranmer at Museum of Anthropology

Kesu’: The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer honours a man who embodied “indigenous modern” before the term had been coined, but preferred the descriptor “whittler” or “doodler” to “Kwakwaka’wakw artist.” In this celebration of Cranmer, Kesu’ captures the artist’s personality, his paradoxes, his range of work, and his profound influence on generations of Northwest Coast artists.

The exhibition displays a wide range of Doug’s artistic works in two and three dimensions in wood and paint, from totem poles, a canoe, masks, bentwood boxes, bowls, and prints, to his important “Abstract series” of paintings on mahogany plywood. Works and words by his students will also be included in this unique exhibit, which is organized as a series of overlapping modules that present aspects of the artist’s complex perspectives.
