BLOG MASTER'S NOTE:

> In a pivotal court case* relevant to the authenticity of Norval Morrisseau artwork a court judgement had been made by Judge Paul J. Martial who stated the following about appraiser of the above artwork, Mr. Joseph McLeod:

“He demonstrated a superior depth of knowledge of Morrisseau…”
(Judgment by Judge Paul J Martial: March 25th, 2013 - Page 25)

“The testimony of Mr. Joseph McLeod is indicative of his care and the detailed effort to confirm provenance, including the hiring of a forensic expert to examine the signature on the back of the painting indicate that he took his role to provide appraisals seriously. His testimony… demonstrates his depth of knowledge of the painter due to his lengthy association with the artist.”
