In 1969 Norval Morrisseau had his exhibition in Europe, at Galerie Saint-Paul, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France where he met Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall. Pablo Picasso and Mark Chagall would come to visit Norval's exhibition admiring his art. They both loved Norval's use of colour and designs of his paintings.

*With great respect Pablo Picasso once stated that if he would ever hire anyone to mix his colours that he would have chosen Norval Morrisseau.

-
* Contrary to what was previously presented on this platform, Norval Morrisseau was dubbed "Picasso of the North" by Jack Pollock.

-
Note: In Europe Norval Morrisseau also exhibited in Bergen, Norway; London, England; Lahr and Hamburg, Germany...-

Spirit Walker keep posting in your blog, the opinions and thoughts of admirers of Morisseau’s Art! To think that in my early 20’s, Norval Morrisseau had an exhibition in France in 1969. He rubbed shoulders with Pablo Picasso who admired his mix of colours... I love the historical perspective presented with well documented events. In reflecting, the spirit of Norval Morrisseau’s images reach deep in individuals’s souls healing many with his Expressive, Creative Art.
