George Aden Ahgupuk (October 8, 1911–April 1, 2001), also called Twok (Tuwaaq in the Modern Iñupiaq orthography), was an Eskimo-American artist known for his paintings and drawings of Inupiaq life. In addition to works on paper, Ahgupuk created ink-wash artwork on various surfaces, such as bleached walrus skin and caribou hide. He was one of the first Eskimo artists to make drawings instead of traditional ivory engraving. Ahgupuk's work is the permanent collection of institutions including the National Museum of the American Indian, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the Alaska State Museum, the University of Alaska Museum, and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art.
