Unveiling the Power of Tradition: A Painting Reborn The unveiling of Norval Morrisseau's massive Woodland Style mural at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery marks a significant moment in Canadian art history.
For 40 years, this remarkable piece was locked away, its power and beauty dormant. Now, as it is displayed for the public to see once more, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
The Morrisseau Masterwork measures 22 feet long by 9. 4 feet high and depicts Indigenous life in a sweeping scene replete with natural elements.
