Of course all anybody knows is what they were taught & what they figured out for themselves, I myself enjoy doing thought provoving, controversial artwork, some agree, some don’t, but in my mind nobody has the right to hate others no matter how much they disagree, they’re still a person & a work of Art themselves! I’ve learned alot over my years here, fossilized- customs .com gave me much to think about & also great inspiration for the artwork I’m able to do. If some Art offends you, you don’t have to keep looking at it. Shalom.

Spirit Wanker is correct, Morrisseau is certainly a great and controversial being.
Here in Canada you can find great info at
http://www.morrisseau.com to see how many scumbags are attempting to cash in on the greatness of this Canadian aboriginal artist.

If you only scratch the surface of the great Canadian Artist Norval Morrisseau you will see that he will be ranking very high on the List for “The Most Controversial Artist Ever “.

Thank you for your attention.

You make a good point, Nick, although his technique is not one I’d want to emulate (even if I could…lol). If I had to go to such lengths (no pun intended), I think I’d feel like a sell-out.

This is an interesting story, but I am surprised that the art establishment is actually taking this person seriously. I checked his work via google, and found this clip:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/455659/the_world_famous_pricasso_at_work_on_the_beach/

In my opinion, the work is quite uninspired.
One has to question the health issues. As a doctor, I can tell you that the pigments contain quite toxic compounds– cadmium in particular is very carcinogenic, and oil and acrylic mediums contain aromatic benzenes that are also toxic and irritating– and unless he is using a condom, that stuff is going up his urethra and coating the mucous membranes of his genitalia.
Aside from the social commentary, in depicting world leaders, members of the establishment via penile smears, there is very little to say about the work.
Andy Warhol did it already, 40 years ago, with his Piss, and Cum paintings.
Who does the judging, and final awarding of the prize? This whole thing smacks of a provincial attempt to gather attention, but comes across as quite unsophisticated.
