Saskatchewan NAC Auction House Biography and Notes
Jackson Beardy was born on the Garden Hill First Nation in Island Lake, Manitoba, in 1944. In 1972 he, Alex Janvier and Daphne Odgig staged a joint exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery called "Treaty Numbers 23, 287, 1171". The name was a reference to the treaty numbers that the Canadian government gave to the indigenous groups which they had concluded treaties with. From this exhibition grew a group of indigenous (Native) Canadian artists who named themselves the 'Professional Native Artists Association' in 1973, better known as the Indian Group of Seven. Included alongside Jackson Beardy was Alex Janvier, Norval Morriseau, Daphne Odjig, Carl Ray, Eddy Cobiness and Joseph Sanchez. They combined forces to promote their work into the world of western art. They were committed to indigenous control of indigenous art and changing acceptance from emphasizing "Indigenous" to emphasizing "Artistic" value. His media of choice was oil, acrylic, tempura and prints. His stylized paintings emphasized design and depicted Cree legends and stories told to him by his grandmother.
