Norval Morriseau

The power point mainly talked about how norval morrisseau paved the way for aboriginal artist' that focused on woodland art. He was also referred to as the Picasso of the north. His paintings had lines, colour, shapes, and spiritual meaning. It also showed his association to the group of seven and how he impacted them.


Morriseau was so important because he was the first traditional aboriginal artist. He also was the first to be so well known and reach that success. He faced the struggle of rejection and critics not understanding the spiritual meaning behind his paintings. He also struggled for providing for his family and often sold his paintings for food. He impacted Canadian art because he showed Canada new techniques, as well as a new out look and understanding of aboriginal art.
