The Hunter 1995

"The Hunter" (1995) by Norval Morrisseau is a vibrant example of his distinctive style, known as Woodland Art. This painting depicts a stylized figure, likely representing an Indigenous hunter, riding a blue deer-like creature against a stark, contrasting red and blue background. The bold outlines and flat colors are characteristic of Morrisseau’s work, which often draws inspiration from traditional Ojibwe storytelling and iconography. The inclusion of a bird in the top right corner suggests the hunter's connection to the natural world and the importance of hunting in Indigenous culture.
