Norval Morriseau; Androgyny
This artwork is by Norval Morisseau, and it's name is Androgyny. It was donated to the Canadian people on April 15, 1983. The title, Androgyny, is supposed to represent express Norval's personal understanding of life's interconnectedness and explore his notions on gender identity. It is 366 x 610 cm, making it a massive painting.
In this painting I see a red hill with people climbing to the top to see a great being, in this case the bird. Inside there seem to be people worshipping the great being of sorts. The background is yellow and there is vegetation in the represented sky.
To me it seems like there are aboriginal folk climbing the hill with animals under the soil, to a greater being in this case being the bird at the top of the hill with an arch over it. I think they are going to worship it, because there are other folk in the arch who seem to be looking at the bird.
I like this painting, as it has a large pallet of different colours and it is pleasing to look at at see all the different things that are represented in Androgyny. It can be a bit too intense of the eyes, but it overall has a lot of cool things to look at.
