I have been to see the Joe Fafard exhibition at the National Gallery. There is no sculptural problem that cannot be worked out in a cow, he said. Or a horse, presumably, for most of his works of art were representations of cows, bulls, calves, or of horses and foals.
Other pieces depicted members of his family, fellow artists, the general populace of his home town—Ste. Marthe, Saskatchewan—and former Prime Ministers of Canada, but he kept coming back to the animals.
MORE TOMORROW.
