Collection of the Dennos Museum Center
The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the exhibition Copper Thunderbird: Works by Norval Morrisseau from the Museum’s Collection September 20 – November 29, 2015.
Norval Morrisseau, (March 14, 1932 – December 4, 2007), was an artist known by many names and phrases. Born Jean-Baptiste Norman Henry Morrisseau, he was given the name Copper Thunderbird during an Anishinaabe renaming ceremony meant to cure him from illness when he was 19. After establishing his visionary style of the Woodland School of Art, some referred to Morrisseau as the “Picasso of the North.” With thick black lines and bright interior patterns, Morrisseau’s artwork was at first inspired by the many myths and legends of his Ojibwe culture.

As recognition for his work grew, Morrisseau became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and the Order of Canada. In 2005, he became the first native artist to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada. (more…)
