If you desire a brief respite from today’s deluge of bin Laden-related news and punditry, take a sec to check out the work of Bern Will Brown. He’s sort of the Paul Gaugin of the frozen north, having settled into the tiny Arctic hamlet of Colville Lake many decades ago. Though he originally journeyed up to Canada’s northern climes as a Catholic missionary, he’s now best known for his depictions of daily life in the Northwest Territories’ remotest corners; along with his paintings, his 16mm film of Beluga whale hunting comes highly recommended.
