From the French resistance to Nunavut: The love story between Gabriel Gély and the Inuit
Posted: Dec 31, 2020 10:35 PM CT | Last Updated: January 1 Gabriel Gély, shown here in his studio, left hundreds of photos that document life in Canada s North from 1954 to 1987.(University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections, Gabriel Gély Fonds) Gabriel Gély, a French painter who spent much of his life alongside the Inuit, died at the end of November in Selkirk, Man., at the age of 96. To the University of Manitoba, he left his archival collection of photos that document the lives of people in the Canadian North from the 1950s to the 1980s. Nothing predestined Gély, who was born in Paris, France, in 1924, to live the majority of his life in the Canadian Far North. But after participating in the resistance during the Second World War, a young Gély fell in love with the Canadian Arctic after seeing an exhibition of Inuit art in the storefront of the Librairie Sainte-Beuve in Paris. He gathered all his savings and left for Canada in 1952.
