Wikipedia:
George Aden Ahgupuk (October 8, 1911–April 1, 2001), also called Twok (Tuwaaq in the Modern Iñupiaq orthography), was an Eskimo-American artist known for his paintings and drawings of Inupiaq life.[1] In addition to works on paper, Ahgupuk created ink-wash artwork on various surfaces, such as bleached walrus skin and caribou hide.[2] He was one of the first Eskimo artists to make drawings instead of traditional ivory engraving.[3] Ahgupuk's work is the permanent collection of institutions including the National Museum of the American Indian,[4] the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery,[5] the Alaska State Museum, the University of Alaska Museum, and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art.[1]
