[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 2605574, member: 55"]Ben Davidson, Haida artist, has just passed away, apparently of a heart attack, at age 44/45, according to Douglas Reynolds Gallery. His Haida name was [I]tlajang nang kingaas[/I] meaning “the one who is known far away.” The son of Robert Davidson, he followed his father's footsteps as one who both followed the form-line tradition, and innovated upon the tradition; and like his father he was dedicated to preserving and expanding Haida culture in dance, language and song. This is a terribly sad and sudden loss to his family, and to the Haida people and the art world.
