Mythologizing Norval Morrisseau examines the complex identities
assigned to Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau. Was he an
uneducated artist plagued by alcoholism and homelessness? Was
Morrisseau a shaman artist who tapped a deep spiritual force? Or
was he simply one of Canada's most significant artists? Carmen L.
Robertson charts both the colonial attitudes and the stereotypes
directed at Morrisseau and otherIndigenous artists in Canada's
national press. Robertson also examines Morrisseau's own shaping of
his image. An internationally known and award-winning artist from a
remote area of northwestern Ontario, Morrisseau founded an art
movement known as Woodland Art developed largely from Indigenous
and personal creative elements. Still, until his retrospective
exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in 2006, many
Canadians knew almost nothing about Morrisseau's work. Using
discourse analysis methods, Robertson looks at news stories,
magazine articles, and film footage, ranging from Morrisseau's
first solo exhibition at Toronto's Pollock Gallery in 1962 until
his death in 2007 to examine the cultural assumptions that have
framed Morrisseau.
