"Victoria and Family", © 1978 Norval Morrisseau

-

In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on Monday, prior to May 25th. It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West (Now Ontario) in 1845, and became a national holiday in 1901. Before Victoria Day became a national Holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day , beginning in the 1890s as Victoria approached her Diamond jubilee in 1897. Victoria, queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India was born on 24 May 1819. She ascended the throne after the death of her uncle George IV in 1837 when she was only 18. She ruled until her death in 1901 when her son Edward the VII became king of England.

THE SHINING's 30th Anniversary (USA)

-
>>> 30th Anniversary of Norval Morrisseau art ("The Great Mother" & "Flock of Loons") appearing in the Stanley Kubrick's classic...
-
* Released on May 23rd, 1980 (USA)
-
by znigznog

-
The Norval Morrisseau print titled "The Great Mother" appeared in Stanley Kubrick's film "The Shining" (1980). The film's source material is from science-fiction/horror author Stephen King's 1977 best-selling novel. Another print by Norval Morrisseau titled "Flock of Loons" also appeared in the same film.
-
As in many of his films, director Kubrick explores the dimensions of the genre to create the ultimate horror film of a man going mad, aspiring writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson), while serving as an off-season caretaker of an isolated, snowbound resort ("the Overlook") with his family: wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd).
-
* If you purchase "The Shining" DVD, go to the Scene No.2 ("The interview") when Jack Torrance (Nicholson) is about to enter the office of the resort's manager for an interview. You will see the print "The Great Mother", framed on the wall, at the left side of the door OR view the above presented "You Tube" video by going @ 2:45 to view "The interview" scene.
-
To view the other print by Norval Morrisseau titled "Flock of Loons" , go to the Scene No. 35 ("Halloran killed"), available also on "The Shining" DVD, when Jack Torrance (Nicholson) is about to exit out of "the Overlook" holding axe in his hands. You will see the print, framed on the wall.
-
Note: These prints can be viewed in previously published posts listed below.

"Owls, loons and serpent", acrylic on plywood door panel, 68"x34",
© 1980 Norval Morrisseau; /Click on image to Enlarge/
> Painted at 171 Fitzgerald Street, Thunder Bay, Ontario <
• Private Collection - Toronto, Ontario CANADA •
-
-
An Introduction:
-
The above Norval Morrisseau painting on plywood door panel had been disrespectfully labeled as a 'fake and imitation' by Gabor (Gabe) Vadas 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 listed as 'fake and imitation' (pages 2 & 7). Please click on image to enlarge for a detailed examination of this genuine Norval Morrisseau artwork.
-
IMPORTANT NOTES: This Norval Morrisseau's signed affidavit dated November 30th, 2004 had never been sent to Mr. Gary Lamont while Norval Morrisseau was alive because Mr. Lamont only became aware of it in 2008. Gabor Vadas had many opportunities to deliver this affidavit to Mr. Gary Lamont including the time when Mr. Lamont visited Norval Morrisseau in Nanaimo, BC on May 18th, 2005 (click HERE... see last three images at the bottom of page).
-
Gabor Vadas did not have the decency to hand this affidavit to Mr. Gary Lamont and I do not believe he ever had intention to do so neither, and he 'conveniently' waited for Norval Morrisseau to die before exposing it to the public and consequently to Mr. Gary Lamont.
-
Also, I do not believe that Norval Morrisseau would have ever presented such a strong statement about paintings listed in this sworn affidavit without expressing 'his' concerns to his very good friend Mr. Gary Lamont who is the owner of www.woodlandartgallery.ca.
-
-
* The following Norval Morrisseau's sworn affidavits in 'PDF' format are involving the following galleries and/or individuals:
-

>>> In the beginning of the month of July 2010 the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG will start presenting the reports which will clearly show many inconsistencies of the above presented Norval Morrisseau's sworn affidavits and will display without any doubt wrongful, dishonest, disrespectful and manipulative behaviours of Gabor (Gabe) Vadas who together with Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair, Bryant Ross, Donald Robinson, Paul Robinson, John Zemanovich and Mark Anthony Jacobson a.k.a. PEY-SIM-AWAY-APEY-BINASI orchestrated the Norval Morrisseau Conspiracy which has been exposed on this blog and elswhere.

"The Shaman Artist
Wishes to express to us
Through
The art form
That we are all
Like children
-
Our childlike simplicity
With dignity and sweet humility
We view
One environment
and
Remind us of the Pure Spirit
Expressing itself upon ourselves."
-
Norval Morrisseau, 1983
-
-

-

NOTE: The acrylic on canvas titled "Nishnabwe Love - Flower Tree with Loons" was acquired directly from the artist by Mr. Gary Lamont a.k.a Gary Bruce Thacky of www.woodlandartgallery.ca (Go to "Gallery No. 4" or click HERE) and it was executed in Thunder Bay, Ontario in 1989 - the same year when Norval Morrisseau became a member of the Order of Canada (click HERE).
-
BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT: Norval Morrisseau was known to use his fingers rather than the paint brushes alone to apply the paint on many artworks executed throughout his artistic career (click on the image above for a closer examination and pay attention to irregular islands of paint which were applied with finger(s) or click HERE for the the proof of this statement - a "You Tube" video presentation where you could clearly see his fingers stained with paint).

"While visiting Norval at his home in Beardmore, Ontario in 1978, he playfully told me that he had painted this split-image of the otter as a spoof to the art critics of the era who were trying to intellectually define Aboriginal art."

Osho* (1931-1990)

* - one of the most provocative thinkers of our time, challenges us to understand our world and ourselves in a new and radical way. The first step toward understanding, he says, is to question and doubt all that we have been taught to believe.-

A Song of Greatness

-

When I hear my elders

Telling of heroes and great deeds

So long ago,

When I hear them talking

About our great ancestors

Then I think to myself

I am one of them.

-

When I hear others

Praising the great ones,

Then I know that I too,

Will be honoured

When my time comes, I too

Will do great deeds.

-
