Discover Norval Morrisseau: Life & Work by Carmen Robertson

Описание: “When Norval Morrisseau arrived on the Canadian art scene in 1962, he was something of an anomaly. At a time when enforced assimilation was national policy and First Nations had only recently been accorded the right to vote in federal elections, few indigenous people made art that was viewed as contemporary within the narrow framework accepted in mainstream cultural circles.” - Carmen Robertson
