PUDLO PUDLAT (PADLUQ; PADLO; PADLOO; PUDLOO)
Date of Birth: 1916 Male/Female: Male E7-899
Place of Birth: near, Kamadjuak
Deceased: December 28, 1992
Mother:
Father:
“Pudlo’s works over the years demonstrate his keen visual sense, his versatility and innovativeness in subject matter and technique, tempered by his sense of humour --- his knowledge of traditional life on the land and his acknowledgment of the changing times…Pudlo’s thinking/drawing process is a truly creative approach, done both consciously and unconsciously. In the 1978 Cape Dorset print catalogue (p. 67) Pudlo talks about his drawing:
“At times when I draw, I am happy, but sometimes it is very hard. I have been
drawing a long time now. I only draw what I think, but sometimes I think the pencil
has a brain too.”
*Jean Blodgett, “Grasp Tight the Old Ways”,
Art Gallery of Ontario, 1983, pp. 136 – 137.
