Norval Morrisseau @ Thunder Bay, Ontario (April 5th, 2002)

NOTE: This "You Tube" presentation of Norval Morrisseau authenticating his artwork was part of a "KIJIJI" ad for sale of the three Genuine Norval Morrisseau artworks which were painted and signed by the artist with a black dry brush (BDP) technique in 1970's (see "KIJIJI" ad below; dated July 31st, 2012). These artworks were acquired from the personal collection of Mr. Rolf Schnieders (1928-2015) of Thunder Bay, Ontario.


Ms. Carmen Robertson noted that Mr. Schnieders was "well-known conduit for Morrisseau's paintings in the Thunder Bay region" and was "actively handling works by the artist since 1960s. He operated small store on May St., in Thunder Bay ON called 'Yesterday's Treasures' for a number of years and this was one way he sold works by Morrisseau."

Ms. Carmen Robertson*, who would consider these genuine Mr. Ryan LeBlanc's Norval Morrisseau paintings from collection of the late Rolf Schnieders, authenticated by the artist himself, to be "Attributed to Norval Morrisseau" (the FAKES)!

~ All three of these genuine Norval Morrisseau paintings were signed by the artist with a dry brush (BDP) technique.

3 stunning Norval Morrisseau originals, with clear provenance


I am offering three (3) beautiful artworks by Norval Morrisseau.

Please notice that I have not included the obligatory biography of one of Canada's greatest artists as seen in most Morrisseau ads. By merely opening this ad I am very much assured that you are completely familiar with his immense talent and contribution to Canadian art.

The paintings I offer are unique. Where else will you find artworks whereby the artist has had the pieces brought to him in order to verify they are original works by his own hand...all captured on video tape and digital photography? Both you and I know the value of these extremely unique masterpieces so let's get down to business.

>>> These artworks were acquired from the personal collection of Mr. Rolf Schnieders of Thunder Bay, Ontario. I personally took these three pieces to Norval Morrisseau during his visit to Thunder Bay in April of 2002. The pieces were inspected by Norval Morrisseau and his family including Christian and Eugene prior to the video shooting of the authentication.
























Ryan LeBlanc with Norval Morrisseau - Thunder Bay, Ontario; April 5th, 2002 /Click on image to Enlarge/


I will never forget how his face lit up even though ravaged by the stroke of 1994 and Parkinson's disease. During the authentication process I took digital video and photographs of Norval Morrisseau signing and adding a thumb print to each canvas followed by Christian adding the year “2002” in pencil to complete the authentication process.

The video can be viewed on "You Tube" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbguQ0t1y4.

The successful buyer will also be provided with an expert forensic document examiner's report evaluating the painted signatures on the reverse side of these canvases as additional proof of authenticity.

All three paintings are rolled and in tubes.

This would be a superb trio of exquisite, original Woodland Art for displaying in a corporate office or private collection.

Should you purchase the package deal, we will make arrangements between you and I to personally deliver the artworks. Upon delivery please make plans in advance to have the pieces viewed by an expert of your choice. Your satisfaction is paramount.

SPECIAL OFFER: Buy all 3 pieces for $25,000

BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT:
These paintings were authenticated by Norval Morrisseau only six days prior to himself authenticating another 14 canvases on April 11th, 2002. These paintings also came from a Private Collection of Mr. Rolf Schnieders (1928-2015) of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Six of these fourteen paintings were examined for signature authenticity by Dr. Atul K. Singla who through his Forensic Report had provided conclusive evidence that these paintings were signed by the artist Norval Morrisseau.
