About this work
In Harold Beament’s images of people of the north, the sea is almost always present as a dominant feature, and this is true in both works he did for Sampson-Matthews. In “The Waiting Ones” (1948), members of an Inuit family stand in anticipation on a cold, rocky ledge, peering out over a frozen bay as they await the return of a hunting party. During his time in the north, he lived with Inuit families and is widely considered one of the first Canadian artists to do so.
