Anonymous said...: Hello
I heard that Norval started painting in the 50s? I have seen very few early works. Maslak gallery in Toronto recently had a catalogue available in their gallery which featured the most early works I have ever seen.
my question is, would anyone like to share photo's of other early works? or could anyone mention a publication which may show these works?
Thanks

Anonymous said...: Would 'David' refer to a specific person, or is it being used in the title in the symbolic way it was adopted by Louis Riel, both in that life-time and in his re-incarnation as Koresh?

Spirit Walker said...: David is Norval Morrisseau's son who is also an artist.; 22 February, 2008 22:58
Anonymous said...: If it is the symbolic meaning, then that converts this into one of the Morrisseau-as-Christ paintings.

Anonymous said...: Does the blogmaster have in his archives any image of the Morrisseau-as-Christ painting which could be posted for comparison? I don't remember exactly where I've seen it, possibly in the McMichael collection or one of McLeod's catalogues?

Thank you,; 24 February, 2008 16:35
Anonymous said...: Out of interest...does anyone have any insight in to why Norval often painted images of himself with his children (like this one) when articles I have read suggested that he had very little interaction and communication with them throughout their childhood?; 25 February, 2008 17:46
Spirit Walker said...: Norval Morrisseau often painted images of himself with his children and his wife because he loved them.

Because he was not phisically close to his wife and children through his art his love for his family was always there and he spiritually felt close to them.; 25 February, 2008 21:02
Anonymous said...: Thanks Spiritwalker. Makes sense. Some of the paintings of his family our my favourites...; 26 February, 2008 16:12
