Description

Norval Morrisseau is perhaps the greatest Native artist ever to have lived. He is Shaman, a storyteller and the inspiration for one of Canada's most vibrant and exciting national art movements, the Woodland School of Art. Through his magical paintings he has given new life to ancient Native legends and fables, and has helped to restore the dignity of his once-proud people. This book celebrates the art and life of this remarkable man.
