Norval Morriseau/Copper Thunderbird: Draw and Tell: Lines of Transformation
February 24 – April 7, 2001
This exhibition of drawings by First Nations artist Norval Morrisseau (Anishnaabe, b. 1932) consisted of over fifty visionary works made between 1972 and 1973, while the artist was in prison. The exhibition featured a series of drawings that depict highly charged images based on Morriseau's personal transformation of pictographic traditions. Norval Morriseau/Copper Thunderbird: Draw and Tell: Lines of Transformation was co-curated by Catherine de Zegher and Gerald McMaster.
