"The Shaman Artist
Wishes to express to us
Through
The art form
That we are all
Like children
-
Our childlike simplicity
With dignity and sweet humility
We view
One environment
and
Remind us of the Pure Spirit
Expressing itself upon ourselves."

Norval Morrisseau, 1983

wow, what power in this painting. Child like simplicity and yet such power. This is the case in alot of Norval's works. Its nice to see such great paintings on this site which bring him true honour. Congratulations to this site and continued success in the future!
What a wonderful way to pay tribute to the man that changed Canadian art for the better! Long live his memory and art
