Norval Morrisseau

Man Changing Into Thunderbird

Beschreibung

Morrisseau was a controversial figure, eliciting everything from resentment to outright condemnation. Living on booze, flat broke and exhausted, he often traded art for a drink to the frustration of his agents. Despite immense talent and success, his alcoholism plunged his wife and children into poverty and he spent years bouncing between skid row and jail.
