The Paradox of Norval Morrisseau
Documentary about Indigenous Canadian painter Norval Morrisseau.
January 1, 1974
28m
Overview
In this revealing study of Norval Morrisseau, filmed as he works among the lakes and woodlands of his ancestors, we see a remarkable Indigenous artist who emerged from a life of obscurity in the North American bush to become one of Canada's most renowned painters. Morrisseau the man is much like his paintings: vital and passionate, torn between his Ojibway heritage and the influences of the white man's world.
