Abstract
Creative artists of the Arctic are discussed, including an Inuit sculptor, a Yukagir graphic artist, a Dolgan painter, and numerous artists representing the legacy of Sakha (Yakut) art. While emphasis is on contemporary artists, significant historical figures and themes are mentioned. The recent generation of modern artists are united by a new reading of mythological narratives and ancient tales, a desire to find in them the historical roots of their people, and love for their land. Some represent a trend the author terms “ethnomodern.”
