The Thunderbird Poems

Beschreibung

Norval Morrisseaus revered work has been recognized throughout the art world and beyond. Less widely known is the artists personal life story, which poet and biographer Armand Garnet Ruffo related in his powerful narrative biography, Norval Morrisseau: Man Changing into Thunderbird (Douglas & McIntyre, 2014). Ruffo immersed himself in the life and work of the artist, gaining insight into the struggles and sources of inspiration underlying Morrisseaus greatest works through research and interviews with the artist himselfa connection further strengthened by their shared Ojibway heritage.
