Along with professional appraisal work done by Maslak Mcleod Gallery in Toronto Ontario by Mr. Joseph McLeod a member of the Canadian Public Appraisers. Further forensic work was conducted and found proof positive for the signature painted in black paint on the verso of 'FATHER AND SON' dated 1977 by Mr. Brian Lindblom of 'The Document Examination Consultants Inc.'.
-
The 'Document Examination Consultants Inc.' are noted for their forensic expertise and called upon by various law enforcement agencies such as the RCMP to conduct forensic examinations to be used in a court of law. Go to "Personnel" section of their website to access PDF version of Mr. Brian Lindblom's CV.
-
This type of work is forensics at it's best and is quite costly to employ. This kind of examination was done under the eye of un-biased professional scrutiny.
-
The forensics work can only be conducted using many publicly known signature and writing sample specimens of Norval Morrisseua's signature as it is found on prints, personal letters and publicly known artwork created by Norval Morrisseau.
-
All specimens of writing archived by the examiners were used in determining the author of the signature and title painted on the verso of 'Father and Son' along with other paintings I own. Money well spent.
-
A positive Identification of the signature was made and determined that it was done by the hand of 'Norval Morrisseau' Canadian Woodland Artist through a multiple point grade system.
The painting 'Father and Son' can be sourced back to Khan's auction house sold by Mr. Randy Potter (auctioneer) to Michael Moniz in early 2007 and sold afterwards on eBay.com to a collector in Toronto who will remain nameless to protect this individual's right to privacy.
-
Two paintings once owned by Mr. Joseph Otavnik were also examined by the document examiners and two other paintings I own as well (Sacred Medicine Bear, 1979 and Sacred Medicine Wheel, 1975). These four other paintings were found once again to have positive signature identifications authored by the brush of Norval Morrisseau.
-
Forensic work was also employed by Mr. Jim White who is an art dealer from Ontario on six paintings he had examined by the same forensic firm 'Document Examination Consultants Inc.' years ago. Mr. Joseph Otavnik and I have used the same firm for a forensic signature evaluation of the paintings from our collections. The six paintings owned by Mr. Jim White came back also with proof positive signatures painted on the verso of each piece authored by Norval Morrisseau.
-
All of these paintings including 'Father and Son' came from Randy Potter's auction house and through Mr. David Voss a Thunder Bay collector. One can link themselves into Mr. Otavnik's case at www.norvalmorrisseaulawsuit.com for an in depth exploration of this man's case of Otavnik vs Vadas SC 07-51428-00 and see for yourself the importance and power of forensic science.
-
The painting 'Father and Son' was pictured in the February 2007 Globe&Mail article "Old Art Scam surfaces on-line" by the late Val Ross. The article's accusations were slanderous and damaging to say the least. The Val Ross article is full of lies and mis-information fed to Val Ross a reporter for the Globe&Mail by the individuals doing the speaking in the article. I need not have to repeat their names once again.
-
Norval Morrisseau has now been vindicated and victory has been won!
-
Justice has been found for Norval Morrisseau.
-
Indeed 'the Father has now found his Son'...

Thank you.

Blog Master's comment:
-
Due in fact to individuals and galleries that were closely associated with the artist have been spreading false statements that paintings of a certain style were not done by Norval Morrisseau's hand. Particularly those from the 1970's such as "Father and Son" (1977) presented in this posting. I understand fully now that they are trying "to harness" the secondary market and litigation proceedings have begun with many involved against this small group of people spreading dis-information to the public.
-
By discrediting a large body of work by Norval Morrisseau shows us all a great disrespect to the artist and their actions will never be tolerated. By doing disservice to the most important Canadian painter; they have tried to harm the Norval Morrisseau Art Market and consequently his legacy and have failed in their actions. The painting(s) executed in the 1970's style and signed presented in this posting(s) are authentic pieces of art authored by Norval Morrisseau and forensic science backs up this claim!
-
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
