Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes
Richard Harrington was a freelance photographer whose tireless travel over five decades enabled him to build a massive archive of documentary photographs from more than 120 countries. Harrington travelled 3,500 miles on six separate dog-sled journeys from 1948 to 1953 documenting the Inuit way of life in the Canadian Arctic. The Inuit called him “Adderiorli” – the man with a box. The hunter in this photograph is kneeling beside his catch, waiting for it to freeze, in order to strategically position it upright and make it easier to spot at the end of the day. The close crop and balance of this composition is not only attractive, but also serves to delineate a clear narrative based on three key elements; weapon, hunter and prey. It also mirrors the act of photography itself – camera, photographer, and subject – with both the hunter and photographer aiming for the perfect “shot.”
