I have been working my way through your Morrisseau research during my summer holidays to the annoyance of my wife. But once started it is hard to discard the fascinating plots and counter plots that seem to emerge from this brilliant effort. Had you been a research student in my field you would have had enough material to produce a doctoral dissertation. Your latest input of Mr Sinclair shows that indicates that all are not in complete disagreement about authentic and counterfeit Morrisseaus.I hope the various blogs that disappeared will come back online to keep the general public informed of any developments.

Interested watcher is not alone. There appears to be a growing interest in American academia about Morrisseau. U of Penn published a rather interesting paper that may get Canadian academia out of its long sleep on this artist. What happened to the other interesting blogs that featured this favored native son? Most were controversial but still interesting. Some sadly childish and rude. Yours, as Interested Watcher indicated, displays an outstanding research ability.
