David Blackwood was a master Canadian printmaker and painter whose distinct style has earned him a spot in the canon of great Canadian artwork. Blackwood is known chiefly for his intaglio prints, often depicting dramatic historical scenes of Newfoundland outport life and industry, such as shipwrecks, seal hunting, iceberg encounters, and resettlement. He considered himself a "visual storyteller," and also produces paintings, drawings and woodcuts. His work is endlessly important to the mythology and heritage of the Newfoundland way of life he grew up in.
