| Introduction | Kinsman Robinson enjoyed a long-standing and close relationship with Norval Morrisseau during the last two decades of his life. We welcomed Morrisseau to the roster in 1989 and hosted his comeback exhibition "The Shaman's Return", a sold-out event which wowed collectors and critics a year later. Kinsman Robinson acted as Morrisseau's primary gallery until his death in 2007. In collaboration with Anna Porter, we published two Morrisseau hardcover books, the first in 1997 and the revision in 2005: "Norval Morrisseau: Return To The House of Invention." We sponsored two out of four venues during the major retrospective, "Norval Morrisseau: Shaman Artist" (2006-2007), one at the McMichael and the other at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) in Santa Fe. Since 2008, Kinsman Robinson has held five biennial Morrisseau retrospectives with accompanying full-colour catalogues. We continue to pursue our moral commitment to protect the artistic legacy of Norval Morrisseau and to preserve the value of genuine works by the artist. |
