Lot #66: Vintage Ivan Kocsis Framed Indigenous Art Prints - Set of 2 (Ontario History)

Vintage Ivan Kocsis Framed Indigenous Art Prints - Set of 2 (Ontario History) Beautifully framed pair of vintage historical lithograph prints by renowned Hungarian-Canadian illustrator Ivan Kocsis (1933–2008). These highly detailed pen-and-ink style illustrations were originally created in the 1970s as a historical educational portfolio documenting the traditional seasonal lifestyles, survival strategies, and technologies of First Nations peoples in the Great Lakes region. Included in this matching set: • Plate 1: Traditional Spear Fishing – Depicting hunters using specialized spears near a river fish weir trap. • Plate 2: Indians of the Historic Period in Southern Ontario – Depicting winter hunters tracking game using traditional snowshoes and a compound bow. About the Artist (Ivan Kocsis): Ivan Kocsis was a master of archival pen-and-ink illustration based in Hamilton, Ontario. He was highly respected by Canadian museums and archaeologists for his absolute obsession with historical accuracy. Rather than using creative imagination, Kocsis worked directly alongside researchers to ensure every item—from the design of the river fish weir to the precise webbing of the snowshoes and winter fur tailoring—perfectly matched physical excavated artifacts. His original works and prints are preserved in permanent collections of regional institutions like the Huronia Museum.
