History:
Since the early 1950s, when Inuit art still had a "primitive" or naïve look, most Inuit artists have adopted a stylistic approach deeply rooted in naturalism. Their works often appear more refined, especially over the past decade or so, when many artists have developed a preference for highly polished sculpture.
