>>> The main purpose of this blog is to share information with anyone interested in the Anishinaabe (Woodland) School of Art Movement that Norval Morrisseau and other early aboriginal artists started in the late 1950's. From this start that is linked to the cliff paintings seen along the canoe routes of antiquity, and others yet to be found in other sparsely settled areas of North and South America, Canada and the World has become aware of the artistic genius of Our aboriginal culture. This artistic genius doesn't stop at visual art alone but extends to the written and performing arts that are also being recognized.
-
The artistic genius of Norval Morrisseau was best described by Jack Pollock (1930-1992) who wrote: "...Norval, with his incredible ability with the formal problems of art (colour-design-space) and his commitment to the world of his people, the great Ojibway, give one the sense of power that only genius provides... It is sufficient to say that in the history of Canadian Painting, few have, and will remain giants. Norval shall."

My arrival in North America (more than 21 years ago) provided the greatest discovery - NORTH AMERICAN NATIVE SPIRITUALITY. All that blended with passion for the art collecting of the greatest aboriginal painter of the world - Norval Morrisseau and exposure to his art that provided me with an opportunity to acquire a collection that consists of pieces of art that span his career from 1952 to 2002.
-
I appreciate all of you visiting the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG and I wish to thank all the contributors for encouraging me to continue with this monumental project which is dedicated entirely to protecting the integrity of Norval Morrisseau's art and the preservation of his artistic legacy.
