Norval Morrisseau at the AGH!

Come see the powerful exhibition, Norval Morrisseau, at the AGH!
Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) artist Norval Morrisseau’s (1931-2007) remarkably influential career began in the early 1960s and spanned over four decades. He is best known for his inventive images of Anishinaabe stories, which first fuelled his imagination as a child living on Sand Point Reserve, near Lake Nipigon in northwestern Ontario. Absorbing these stories and other forms of traditional knowledge over the years, Morrisseau developed a unique pictographic style of painting through which he vividly conveyed the Anishinaabe’s deep spiritual ties to their traditional territory and all of creation. These ties are nourished by the traditional Anishinaabe values of respect, relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility, which pervade the works in this exhibition.
The exhibition is drawn entirely from the AGH Permanent Collection and the paintings included were likely created between 1980 and 1985.
Organized by Guest Curator Tara Ng and made possible through the support of an Ontario Arts Council Culturally Diverse Curatorial Project grant.

Maybe if collectors and cutators really would care for art, they would also care for the artists! The story of the massive fraud on these paintings happen because collectors decide to spend their money on the work of artists that are dead! Wouldn't it be better to support living artists that need money to create than giving your money to greedy people that didn't do the work. Shame on the musician who got rip off by fraudulent people when he bought a fake Norval. How would he like if instead of people paying for his concerts while he is alive, people would pay others to hear his music when he is dead! If he wants to support the art, he should buy for those $ 20,000 the artwork of artists that need to pay food and rent and that need to impulse their careers instead of risking that somebody sells you a lie! Norval would be very sad to see all the greed around his hard work. Artists need to be supported while they work not when they are gone! The entire art industry suffers because instead of treating painters as musicians they treat artists like shit! You can hear a Cd when the artist die, you can make print when an artist die and you can put in a museum the work of death artists to recognize but support financially the hard working living artists! They deserve it!
