"I believe that when Canada 'disappears', Morrisseau will remain.
I believe history will note that Norval Morrisseau will be better known than Pablo Picasso. He's more original."

Robert McMichael (1921 - 2003)
/Canadian art collector and philanthropist/

Note: In 1955, Robert McMichael and his wife Signe (died July 4, 2007) began collecting Canadian paintings by the Group of Seven and other Canadian artists. The couple established the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario which now contains some 6,000 Canadian works.
