Birds and Fish 1994

"Birds and Fish" is a 1994 painting by Norval Morrisseau, a renowned Anishinaabe artist known for his distinctive style. The artwork showcases Morrisseau's signature use of bold, flat colors and geometric shapes. Three stylized birds, rendered in vibrant hues of blue, orange, and black, surround a single fish, its green body contrasting with the turquoise background. The piece exemplifies Morrisseau's commitment to representing Indigenous culture and beliefs through visual art, particularly his connection to the natural world. His style, often referred to as Woodland Art, has become a significant contribution to Canadian art history.
