• Summary:One of the most intriquing contemporary artists of his generation, Guud San Glans ("Eagle of the Dawn" in Haida), or Robert Davidson, stands apart internationally with his innovative and staggering output of high art. In his quest to make beautiful objects, Robert has inspired a new approach to Haida art, becoming a master of several media and pursuing a lofty cultural objective. After raising the first totem pole in Haida Gwaii in 1967, Robert began to learn many of the Haida songs and dances existing on record. This remarkable work has spurred Haida dance groups up and down the Pacific coast. Robert returns to his early years and reveals the direct and indirect influences of his grandmother, Florence Edenshaw Davidson, the daughter of 20th century master Charles Edenshaw.
