This exhibition of drawings by First Nations artist Norval Morrisseau (Anishnaabe, b. 1932) consisted of over fifty visionary works made between 1972 and 1973, while the artist was in prison. The exhibition featured a series of drawings that depict highly charged images based on Morriseau's personal transformation of pictographic traditions.
