• This painting is among the other authentic paintings not included in 'fake and imitations' list in Norval Morrisseau's signed affidavit from November 30th, 2004 regarding paintings at Mr. Gary Lamont's www.woodlandartgallery.ca. Click HERE to view this painting (page 13) which is not part of 'fake and imitations' list (pages 1 - 4). This artwork if shown in 'fake and imitations' list it should have appeared on page 3 or 4 (between 'Family Gathering' & 'Shamans with Thunderbird Power') of this signed affidavit as the paintings' titles were listed in order of appearance. As this painting's title does not appear anywere in the 'fake and imitations' list it is considered an authentic work of Norval Morrisseau as per artist's signed affidavit from November 30th, 2004 (click HERE) and it is also confirmation of the validity of this, previously signed, Certificate of Authenticity.-

>>> BLOG MASTER'S COMMENTS: These legally binding 'Certificates of Authenticity' were signed and thumbprinted by Norval Morrisseau as he personally handled and inspected the 'front and reverse' of these canvases for his identifying marks. Signing of the certificates were eyewitnessed during their presentation to Norval Morrisseau by Mr. William (Bill) Wallace and his sons Christian and Eugene Morrisseau.

-
Also, I quote a closing statement by lawyer Richard H.Baker (dated 01/09/2008 Re: Moniz v. CTV Globemedia Publishing Inc.) in his letter from the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society /NMHS/ (see Exhibit No. 25): "The Society has no reason to believe that Mr. Morrisseau was at any time incompetent".
-
As per Endnote No. 1 of one of the KRG posts (click HERE) it states that: "During this trip to Thunder Bay in 2002, Norval Morrisseau was not under the care of, nor was he advised by, KRG and Don Robinson or Gabe Vadas. Rather, he was acting of his own accord under the care of his relatives."
-
"If Norval Morrisseau was not at any time incompetent as per the above statement from the NMHS it is clear that the 'Cerificates of Authenticity' signed and thumbprinted by Norval Morrisseau are admissable in a Court of Law as valid proof of authenticity and provenance...
-
NOTE: First seven (7) paintings presented in this post are from Ugo Matulić a.k.a. Spirit Walker's Private Collection (Calgary, Alberta) and were acquired from Mr. Rolf Schneiders' Private Collection (Thunder Bay, Ontario). Also, most of the paintings presented in Exhibit No. 3 were acquired directly from Mr. Rolf Schneiders' Private Collection as well as the paintings currently exhibited on Mr. Gary Lamont's website at www.woodlandartgallery.ca.
-
Mr. Schneiders' collection was one of the major sources of Norval Morrisseau's paintings that were supplied to different galleries all across Canada by Mr. Anthony Martinenko, an art dealer from Winnipeg, Manitoba who supplied paintings even to Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery, Aldergrove, BC for many years (click HERE, HERE & HERE). Among other galleries Mr. Anthony Martinenko was supplying Norval Morrisseau's paintings to Maslak McCleod Gallery, Toronto, Ontario; Bearclaw Gallery, Edmonton, Alberta and Northern Art Impressions Gallery, Lake Louise, Alberta; to name but a few. Also, my first Norval Morrisseau's painting was purchased in Winter 1999-2000 from Mr. Anthony Martinenko who acquired it from Mr. Rolf Schneiders (click HERE)! -
