Norval Morrisseau and Anishinabek "Woodland School" Artists

In the 1960s, First Nations artist Norval Morriseau established a style of art that became known as the Woodland School. Determined to tell the stories of the Anishinabek people, Morriseau created a unique pictorial vocabulary which transformed traditional interpretations of sacred myths and narratives. In the same decade, other First Nations visual artists were inspired to communicate the values of their culture: Daphne Odjig, Carl Ray, Jackson Beardy, Eddy Cobiness, and Alex Janvier.
