The Paradox of Norval Morrisseau

The Paradox of Norval Morrisseau (1974) is a documentary directed by Duke Redbird rated 0.0/10.

In this revealing study of Norval Morrisseau, filmed as he works among the lakes and woodlands of his ancestors, we see a remarkable Indigenous artist who emerged from a life of obscurity in the North American bush to become one of Canada's most renowned painters. Morrisseau the man is much like his paintings: vital and passionate, torn between his Ojibway heritage and the influences of the white man's world.
