Screen capture from 'Genuine vs. Fake' Category of defamatory www.morrisseau.com (30-DEC-2009) of the same paintings (Click HERE) when its webmaster Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair called the first presented as an "Authentic" and another one as an "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseau" /Click on image to Enlarge/


~ Click HERE to see both of these images side by side. This confirms, more than once in the presentations on this blog, that Norval Morrisseau repeated many times his images.

BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT:
It is clear as presented herein that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is labelling another proven authentic Norval Morrisseau painting which is in the archives of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) as an "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseau" and it shows more than once in the presentation of this blog that his opinion cannot be trusted. It is also very disrespectful that he published this comparison on www.morrisseau.com the same day when I had given the great honour to Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha (1656 - 1680)... click HERE.

I am dissapointed that Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society is not honouring their mission statement which states:-"The Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society was established at the request of Norval Morrisseau to research, document and preserve his artistic achievement and protect the integrity of his art. It seeks to achieve this mission by establishing and maintaining a registry of his works, publishing and updating a catalogue raisonne of his artistic output and providing the necessary expertise to authenticate his art."-Why are they silent? Is their silence approval for what has been presented on www.morrisseau.com? If they truly care in "protecting the integrity of Norval Morrisseau's art" they would need to speak up. Their silence is hurting the legacy of the man they are supposed to protect and the longer they wait to publish a public statement regarding this matter presented herein, the longer the legacy of Norval Morrisseau will suffer.

I suggest that the Smithsonian Institute launch a lawsuit against this maniac Ritchie Sinclair.
I am sure that Sinclair won't mind another lawsuit in his bag of tricks. He will end up in jail soon enough. His crimes are numerous. He certainly shows signs of a little boy throwing a temper tantrum cought in a whirl wind of lies.
Rumour has it that his paintings he is selling as his own were not done by him?
