In a career spanning five decades, Norval Morrisseau has figured prominently among artists in Canada. He has created a unique style of painting to convey his knowledge of and his deep pride in his Anishnaabe culture; his work both parallels and propels the development of Aboriginal art in this country. The catalogue documents the nearly sixty works in the exhibition which reflect and elaborate on the spiritual aspects of Morrisseau's art.
