Lot description - from the online catalogue*
David Morrisseau was born in 1961 near Red Lake, Ontario to Norval Morrisseau and Harriet Kakegamic. Raised by his Cree grandparents, Morrisseau grew up speaking fluent Cree and Ojibway. His grandfather gave him his first paint set at the age of 12. The themes of his painting embrace his Cree and Anishnaabe heritage, Canadian wildlife, self-portraits and his family history. Similarly to his father, David Morrisseau uses bright colour and native imagery to great effect in his work.
