BLOG MASTER'S COMMENTS:

>>>> The above presented images of authentic Morrisseau's paintings are currently part of the inventory of 'Bockley Gallery', Minneapolis, Minnesota which is the U.S. representative for the artworks of Norval Morrisseau.
-
Despite this, the above Norval Morrisseau's authentic paintings have been presented at www.morrisseau.com as "Inferior Countrfeit Morrisseaus" since November 2008.
--x
>>> The paintings presented in this post are similar like many presented in Norval Morrisseau's sworn affidavits which are just a manipulation of Gabor (Gabe) Vadas by which he tried unsuccessfully to take control over the Norval Morrisseau's secondary art market by discrediting large body of work done by Norval Morrisseau (click HERE). He has been fully supported by Bryant Ross who is a director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery, Aldergrove, BC and Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair, and they are all part of the 'Norval Morrisseau Conspiracy' which has been uncovered on this blog (click HERE) and elswhere. It is funny that Bryant Ross calls the 'Fakes' paintings that he offered for sale at his website www.coghlanart.com once authenticated by Norval Morrisseau which were executed in exactly the samy style like the paintings presented above (click HERE). Several of these affidavits can be found in an article about Norval Morrisseau on 'Wikipedia' in a section 'Fakes and Forgeries' (click HERE) which has also become the part of this conspiracy. The same affidavits used to be exhibited on www.morrisseaubuyersbeware.com (NOT ACTIVE ANYMORE) by its webmaster Jonathan Browne of Ottawa, Ontario.

More of my views in regards to the Norval Morrisseau's sworn affidavits and DETAILED ANALYSIS of EACH OF THE AFFIDAVITS will be presented in future posts of the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG!!!

>> Bryant Ross of of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery has long history with the Bockley Gallery's owner Mr. Todd Bockley that goes back to the beginning of this decade when he attended together with Norval Morrisseau the exhibition 'LISTENING WITH THE HEART: Frank Big Bear, George Morrison, Norval Morrisseau' (click HERE) which was held at the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota (September 9, 2000 - December 31, 2000). Click HERE to see more information about this exhibition which was presented at Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery website.
-
Note the date of March 2005 that the above paintings were input into the 'Bockley Gallery' inventory (click HERE). It is approximately at the same time when Bryant Ross of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery was selling his authentic Norval Morrisseau art pieces that he later labelled as 'Fakes' (click HERE to view screen capture of the Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery's 'Norval Morrisseau Online Gallery' as of May, 2005 and see how these paintings presented above compare with paintings titled 'Water Spirits' 1979 and 'Upper and Lower Worlds' 1978. Bryant Ross stated that "These paintings were guaranteed to be original and authentic and were obtained from the artist or authenticated by him." These two paintings 'Water Spirits' & 'Upper and Lower Worlds' were last presented in our posted article 'The truth behind 'Open Letter to the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society').
-
I would not be surprised that Bryant Ross supplied to 'Bockley Gallery' paintings he did not offer for sale at that time in his gallery which were supplied to him by Anthony Martinenko, an art dealer from Winnipeg, Manitoba who acquired them from Private Collection of Mr. Rolf Schneider of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
-
> Gabe Vadas has also exhibited Norval Morrisseau paintings from his private collection at Mr. Todd Bockley's 'Bockley Gallery' in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year. To see Bockley Gallery installation of the exhibition "Norval Morrisseau - Late Paintings" (May 23rd - June 27th, 2009) showing the pieces from Gabe Vadas' collection click HERE.
-
It is important to mention that painting 'Untitled' [Astral Planes with Tree of Life], presented at this exhibition (click HERE) is from Collection of Gabe and Michele Vadas, was part of the exhibition "NORVAL MORRISSEAU - SHAMAN ARTIST" which was the first solo exhibition featuring a First Nations artist in 126-year history of the National Gallery of Canada (February 3rd - April 30th, 2006) - click HERE.

CLOSING STATEMENT: It is clear as presented herein that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair is showing at his website www.morrisseau.com proven authentic Norval Morrisseau paintings which are part of 'Bockley Gallery' inventory (Minneapolis, Minnesota) and labeling them as "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseaus". It is particularly strange that Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair would label these paintings as "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseaus" knowing very well 'Bockley Gallery' being the U.S. representative for the artworks of Norval Morrisseau which has an outstanding relationship with Bryant Ross and Gabe Vadas. Having himself a supportive relationship with Bryant Ross and Gabor Vadas who support his actions at defamatory website www.morrisseau.com. This shows more than once in the presentation of this blog that his opinion cannot be trusted.
-
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.
