This 1000 piece luxury puzzle depicting Shaman and Disciples by Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007) is designed with meticulous attention to detail. Each piece is printed on premium 250-GSM matte art paper, ensuring rich color, sharp detail, and a glare-free finish. Precision ribbon-cut from thick, durable board, the pieces fit seamlessly together with minimal dust. Sustainably crafted using recycled paperboard, every puzzle also includes a 9 in. x 12 in. art print insert for easy reference during assembly.
Works including Shaman and Disciples (1979) exemplify the copper, yellow, and turquoise pigments that became Morrisseau’s signature palette. These colors not only heightened the clarity of vision and lightness of form but also conveyed the spirituality aligned with his beliefs. In this work, Morrisseau identified the central figure as a self-portrait—his way of fusing personal identity with cosmic transformation. Notably, this piece was the final work he completed in the Tom Thomson Shack while serving as artist-in-residence at the McMichael in 1979, marking a powerful convergence of personal, spiritual, and artistic expression.
Finished Dimensions: 25 in. x 20 in.
