Norval Morrisseau's way of expressing the appreciation

"A Separate Reality", 10'x21',  © 1984 Norval Morrisseau 


"This picture is a pastime. I've been at it now for maybe six or seven months. Maybe I'll be at it for another four months or three months. When its finished the way I want to see it I want to present it to the people of Canada. To all the children of Canada. Indian and Native, Chinese, coloured or whatever they are. They're all great souls. These are the people we want to give it to. To appreciate it. Here... hang it up. This is my appreciation for this medal that you have given me.

First you drive me down to the pits of the bottom of hell by your Missionaries and then later on you lift me up with medals... and no matter what I was behind... that's gone. That was the experience that I went through. If I never went through this bottom thing or the upper thing I would never be this great artist. I wouldn't be here to show... Here, here's my appreciation for trying to understand who I am."

"It is only his name I want to mention (when asked by Selwyn Dewdney* to fill a genealogy form), so that in one way or the other his good heart, his good teachings shall be repayed. Of my actual father I saw little... I knew he was not my father but I began to love and respect him more and more as I advanced in years, as this was all a part of me and I must carry on his wisdom."-

"NORVAL MORRISSEAU - SHAMAN ARTIST"
- ~ the first solo exhibition featuring a First Nations artist in 126-year history of the National Gallery of Canada. Exhibition held in Ottawa, Ontario from February 3rd to April 30th, 2006.

Despite being widely recognized as the father of contemporary aboriginal art and despite the pleas of some influential people, Norval Morrisseau did not become part of the National Gallery of Canada's collection until 2000 (click HERE & HERE to view the first two Norval Morrisseau acquisition by the National Gallery of Canada).

As early as 1972, Selwyn Dewdney, an influential anthropologist and art enthusiast who befriended Morrisseau in northern Ontario early in his career, pressed the National Gallery of Canada to buy some of the artist's work. The gallery refused. "I made a pitch at the National Gallery for inclusion of your work in the permanent collection but encountered deaf ears, Dewdney wrote Morrisseau. "It appears that if you're of Amerindian origin the proper place for your art is a museum!"

About the project & Mission

Background

For all the original paintings and drawings, the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society (NMHS) has accepted the task (in 2005) to work on a catalogue raisonné, documenting every known work created by the artist. The large amount of - unrecorded - Norval Morrisseau’s originals will understandably lead to years of research and investigation by the NMHS.

Documenting the original signed limited edition silkscreens/serigraphs and lithographs are not part of their mission. Therefore this project will deal with all original signed limited editions, with the mission statement as written below.

If you own a Norval Morrisseau painting and would like to document it, contact the NMHS, contact the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society at norvalmorrisseauheritage@gmail.com.

If you own a piece of a Norval Morrisseau limited edition, you can contribute in this blog research project.

Mission Statement

This project has the mission to document all original signed limited editions of Norval Morrisseau. Norval Morrisseau Unlimited uses an on-line blog for the following reasons:

- to stimulate owners of a piece, to contribute with factual information;

- to support the art market as soon as possible, not out waiting the finalization of the project.

Contribute to the research! -

If you have a limited edition of Norval Morrisseau, you can help to add factual information, which are still missing in the on-line Catalogue Raisonné. Search for the edition, in which you own a piece, in the “list (so far)”, look at the information and:

- confirm (or unconfirm) the written information (the more confirmations, the more reliable the information);

- send the unknown information.

Contribute by sending your information to morrisseau.unlimited@gmail.com or by adding a comment (with the information) to a posting, by clicking on the posting title of your edition. It does not matter if a posting is old, you can always respond. See the on-line blog as a database, in which information will continuous be added.

Content

All information mentioned are factual registered by one ore more sources. For the codification of the sources and the reliability, see ‘codification’.

The limited editions will be numbered. For the codification of the numbering, see ‘codification‘.

For the first year, after the launch of this project, regular there will be new posting of a known limited edition.

Blog master’s personal note

I am really fond of limited editions and I love the art of Norval Morrisseau. The combination is magical, to me. I discovered his art in the beginning of 2000 and it was the start of a special journey.

During these last 9 years I followed his art and collected almost scientifically al kind of information. This was not as easy as I expected for a well known and respected Canadian artist. However all my collected information of limited editions is the basis of this project “Catalogue Raisonné for the Limited Editions’.

I hope all owners will contribute to finalise this non-commercial project and that everyone will enjoy this site during the project.

Warm regards,

Multiculturalism Day 2011

-
-

























"We Are All One" Illustration by Spirit Walker

"My art speaks and will continue to speak, transcending barriers of nationality, language and other forces that may be divisive, fortifying the greatness of the spirit that has always been the foundation of the Ojibwa people." - Norval Morrisseau

Canadian Multiculturalism Day was established in 2002 and first celebrated on 27th June 2003. It is a day of awareness and recognition and not a national holiday.

It is one of four "Celebrate Canada" days which commence with National Aboriginal Day on 21st June, to be followed by St. Jean-Baptiste Day (24th June) and culminating with Canada Day on 1st July.

The day was created to recognise the economic, social and cultural benefits of multiculturalism, and to assist in the integration of immigrant people into the wider community, emphasising democracy, equality and mutual respect in all areas of life.

The Canadian government provides funds to individuals, charitable organisations, community groups, schools, colleges and universities, and businesses (on a non-commercial basis) to establish and run multicultural activities.

Multiculturalism has not always been evident in Canada. The indigenous population have long held grievances (many now addressed), and there have been tensions between the French-descended communities (in Quebec) and the British descendent population for many years.

In 1923 the Chinese Immigration Act (repealed in 1947) excluded most Chinese from entering Canada as immigrants, and became known as the "Humiliation Act" or the "Exclusion Act" as a result. The Chinese community within Canada was recognised as having made a significant contribution to Canada during World War II – a major factor in triggering the repeal of the legislation.

Since the 1950s, in particular, immigration from nations around the world and awareness of multiculturalism have increased hand-in-hand, to the extent that the Canadian economy now relies upon many immigrants and their descendents if it is to continue to prosper.

Norval Morrisseau in front of "Self-Portrait, Devoured by His Own Passions"
~ Photography by Tom Moore-


Fierce Clarity and Sophistication

Time Magazine /Canadian Edition/
~ Published August 25th, 1975

When he arrived in Toronto for his first one-man show 13 years ago, Ojibway Artist Norval Morrisseau met with publoic sussess and private anguish. Gallery goers who packed into the tiny Pollock Gallery snapped up all 43 of his works in 24 hours, but recalls Morrisseau, "they thought I was a bush Indian, a sauvage. " Tormented by a host of personal doubts and a serious problem with liquor ("my idea of a social drink is 40 ounces"), Morrisseau nearly floundered in the years that followed. Last week, as he opened his fifth, and best, show at the Pollock, there was evidence that he has developed new inner strengths both as a painter and as a man.

Works by Morrisseau are now in 32 public collections in Canada, and the 29 paintings on view in Toronto are expected to sell $46,000, or ten times the yield of his first show. The National Film Board has completed a documentary, The Paradox of Norval Morrisseau. More than than 40 young Indian artists, inspired by Morrisseau's work, have followed his path away from traditional Indian artifact decora­tion to formal painting.

As an artist, storyteller and mystic, Morrisseau has spent his life struggling to combine the Ojibway legends that he learned from his grandfather with the stern Catholicism impressed on him by his grandmother. The result is an art of fierce clarity and increasing sophistication. Fearful of a taboo against revealing ancient legends out­side the tribe, he did his first drawings on the sand of beaches near his hometown of Beardmore in northwestern Ontario so the water could wash them away. Then, in a dream, he was assured that he would be protected by the Thunderbird, an Ojibway demigod. He moved to more solid materials, using housepaint on brown building paper, and birch bark. "He even brought in some work done on hides," recalls Jack Pollock. "Migod, they stank." Now Morrisseau uses the ac­coutrements of the conventional painter - best quality artists' board, stretched canvas and acrylic paints - as he dis­covers and explores different ways in which he is able to set out his personal visions.

"Artist and His Four Wives", 43"x131", © 1975 Norval Morrisseau
~ this art piece was painted in 30 minutes after artist's visionary experience ~
/Click on image to Enlarge/


The content of Morrisseau's cur­rent works is often more personally revealing than he cares to discuss. The major piece (priced at $6,000) is the Artist and His Four Wives, based on a vision ("clear as a TV picture") that came to Morrisseau as he agonized over a breakup with his wife, Harriet, mother of his seven children. Rejecting the self-image of a wandering husband, he projected himself as a 16th century brave, surrounded by others willing to fill void in his personal life.

"Self-Portrait, Devoured by His Own Passions", 68"x57",
© 1974 Norval Morrisseau /Click on image to Enlarge/


In Self-Portrait, Devoured by His Own Pas­sions, painted in Vancouver last summer, he deals with moralistic Chris­tian guilt over yielding to the pleasures of the world, including masturbation, depicted as an arm that becomes a snake attacking his heart. Spirit Enclosed by a Serpent shows a transparent soul, surrounded by vibrant reds, the color of passion, and green snakes, again attacking.

Silver Cross. Many of Morrisseau's works have the qualities of stained glass. Black wavy lines of power pro­vide the outlines which are filled in with vivid colors. From his earlier, simpler style, based on specific legends or situations, Morrisseau has moved to more flowing and self-confident works. Dressed in a fringed leather jacket, sewn by a current girl friend, and wearing a heavy silver cross purchased from a church goods supply house, he no longer resembles the shy youth with brush cut and windbreaker who came out of the woods in the early '60s.

"Nature's Balance", 73"x48", © 1975 Norval Morrisseau
/Click on image to Enlarge/


"I now believe in peaceful coexistence with myself," as he stood in front of his Nature's Balance, a vibrant interplay of birds, fishes and snakes. "If I had the money and was buying Indian art, this is what I would have on my wall."

Jon Anderson

Norval Morrisseau's Family

/Click on image to Enlarge/-


In 1957 Norval Morrisseau married Harriet Kakegamic (sister of Henry, Joshim and Goyce Kakegamic) who was from Sandy Lake Reserve northeast of Red Lake. They met in Fort William (now Thunder Bay) at the tuberculosis sanatorium while Morrisseau was receiving treatment. They arrived in Cochenour, Ontario in 1959 to work in the Cochenour-Willans gold mine.-Harriet inspired him in his work and taught him Cree syllabics, form of writing developed by Methodist missionary James Evans in the 1840s, reflected in Morrisseau's own signature of his works (Copper Thunderbird).

Their children were born from 1957-1975 as the family moved between Beardmore, Cochenour, Sandy Lake, McKenzie Island and Red Lake. Morrisseau reportedly enjoyed children and one large portrait of his daughter, Victoria, with his first grandson ("Victoria and Family"), conveys pride and love.

Norval Morrisseau & Harriet Morrisseau (Kakegamic) have 7 children by direct bloodline (David, Michael, Peter, Eugene, Christian, Victoria and Lisa), 18 Grandchildren and 13 Great Grandchildren.
-
Note: Norval Morrisseau was buried next to his wife Harriet at cemetery in Keewaywin First Nation, Ontario, Canada. -

* click HERE for a "You Tube" video of the most disturbing moment I have ever experienced as a Norval Morrisseau collector and admirer of his art.
-
- >>> On 22-NOV-2007 Ritchie R. Sinclair a.k.a. Stardreamer, who claims to be a "Chosen Protégé of Norval Morrisseau", was the only one posting the complimentary comment for an article Another painting that was for sale...: Note that the painting in question was the one that he would later, at WWW.MORRISSEAU.COM (now accessible by clicking HERE), label as an "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseau" (click HERE and/or HERE).

-

IMPORTANT NOTES: This painting for which Ritchie R. Sinclair a.k.a. Stardreamer gave compliment "And a beautiful Morrisseau it is - so embued with Vision!" was defaced on January 27, 2010 by Bryant Ross who is director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery in Aldergrove, BC (click HERE). This act of vandalism was reported by Ms. Katie Mercer ( "The Province" reporter) in her "Portrait of a scandal" article which content was in full support by Kinsman Robinson Galleries as posted on their twitter at http://twitter.com/KinsmanRobinson (click HERE to view a twit which surfaced on the day of Ms. Katie Mercer's print/online article or click HERE for this twit's screen capture).

-

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Bryant Ross stated that "Paintings in his online gallery were guaranteed to be original and authentic and were obtained from the artist or authenticated by him." (click HERE for screen capture of the original web page as it appeared in May 2005 showing the above presented painting or click HERE for more factual information leading to the public destruction of this genuine Norval Morrisseau painting by Bryant Ross of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery and/or click HERE for a related information involving artworks which were painted under Norval Morrisseau's drection by Mr. Karl J. Burrows).

BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT: I am dissapointed that Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society (est. 2005) is not honouring their mission statement:

-
"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." -
Mission Statement -
- -
Why are they silent? Is their silence approval for what has been happening in the Norval Morrisseau Art Market? 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. - ---
