Man With Stretched Pelt, 1971 Oil on Masonite, 32” x 24” Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre The painting depicts Joseph Codzi of Colville Lake, now deceased. The Codzi family were the only people residing at Colville Lake when Bern Will Brown founded Our Lady of Snow Mission there in 1962. The impressionistic
softness and warm colours of the tundra in the background adds contrast
to the heightened realism of Joseph Codzi’s weather beaten face
and hand.
