Norval Morrisseau, RCA, Order of Canada (Canadian, 1931-2007)
Serigraph. Signed, dated and titled in pencil, edition 35/50.
Norval Morrisseau, an Anishnabe artist born at Sandy Point Reserve in Ontario, is considered the father of the Woodland School and, by many, as the artist primarily responsible for the surge in interest in Indigenous art in Canada in recent decades. Norval's characteristic style incorporates colourful, figurative images bounded by think black lines. Morrisseau's work explores traditional Anishnabe themes of spirituality and connection to the natural world.
As with "Images of Myths", the other Morrisseau work in this collection, the image of the broken circle, symbol of connection and duality, is central to this work. Also evident is the theme of connection and human immersion in the natural world populated by a rich diversity of animals.
Provenance : acquired at auction by Bohaus Art. "All Within" appears at page 176 of The Art of Norval Morrisseau (1979) and other prints in this series have appeared at auction at reputable auction houses.
