Fortællingen om Kagssuk: De gamle mænd hævner sig på Kagssuk, der er kommet ud af sit hus, lokket af varselømmertens skrig 1858 - 1860

"Fortællingen om Kagssuk: De gamle mænd hævner sig på Kagssuk, der er kommet ud af sit hus, lokket af varselømmertens skrig" is a wood-engraving created by the Greenlandic artist Aron fra Kangeq (1822-1869). It is part of a series of woodcuts that illustrate stories from Greenlandic folklore, specifically the tale of Kagssuk, who is lured out of his home by the cry of an Arctic fox and subsequently punished by a group of elders. This particular woodcut showcases the dramatic moment of Kagssuk's punishment, as he falls into the water. The black and white composition highlights the story's themes of trickery, punishment, and the importance of following traditional wisdom. This artwork, currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Aron fra Kangeq’s artistic talents and the enduring power of traditional storytelling in Greenlandic culture.
