Norval Morrisseau | Art Gallery of Algoma

Learn about Ojibwe artist Norval Morrisseau and his artworks with the Art gallery of Algoma.
The AGA was founded as a non-profit public art gallery and incorporated on July 7, 1975. Established by a group of dedicated volunteers and art enthusiasts, the AGA honours its roots as a community organization with its mission statement - to be a gathering place that celebrates and preserves cultural expression. The AGA moved to its present location next to the scenic and historic St. Mary's River in 1980, a 10,000-square-foot facility including four exhibition spaces, the Ken Danby Education Studio, the Gallery Café and the AGA Gallery Shop. With the appointment of Director Jasmina Jovanovic in August 2011, the AGA looks forward to the next phase in its evolution: establishing and implementing exciting new initiatives, becoming more involved on the national contemporary art scene, and continuing to uphold its multifaceted mandate.

The title "Picasso of the North" I never quite understood.
I realize it's intended as a compliment, but if they going to make a connection with a famous painter from the past,
then I think the "Van Gogh" of the north would be more accurate.
A great artist by any standard, and deserves the same sort of reverence and acclaim people have for other artists, like Van Gogh & Picasso.

This exhibition was held at the Art Gallery of Algoma in Sault Ste. Marie until late 2020. However, three works by the artist will be going back up in our upcoming exhibition this September 2021!
