Provenance:
From the collection of Dr. Alan Ross, Regina.
Notes:
Roy Thomas was one of the most influential 20th-century Anishinaabe painters in Canada, and was famous for paintings of colourful totemic animals. Like Norval Morrisseau, he became well known when Indigenous art gained mainstream popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His paintings combine elements of Ojibwa traditions and legends with realistic depictions of Native life. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions and has participated in several group shows around the world. His work is represented in major Aboriginal Art Collections across Canada and in the US, Europe and Japan.
