Good evening to all my family and friends, art collectors, researchers and others both newly discovered and seasoned veterans alike. It is with a deep sense of personal gratitude that I celebrate the catalogue raisonne being online for 10 years. What a success it has been in helping to accumulate detailed knowledge, locations, provenance along with other fascinating details on the legacy of these artworks.
I will always be known as the first native artist in either First Nations or Canadian history who has done so to date. Not even the Norval Morrisseau Heritage society will ever be able to claim that. We took care of that business here in regards to safe guarding the important and sacred artistic legacy @ Jacobson native art.
Actions speak louder than words and that is something very important with me in regards to taking care of the integrity of my artistic legacy. In dealing with the shady business practices and gross negligence with the Norval Morrisseau estate, I quickly learned that it is never a wise decision to leave this in the hands of others. Not while I’m alive. I must do everything to set the record straight in this regard. What happened to Morrisseau was and will always be, a national disgrace.
That will not happen with me thank goodness. One, my quality is superior to Morrisseau. Two, this authorized resource will be one of the best defences against fraud and other various forms of forgery. To have the opportunity to take care of these details while I’m alive and in my prime of life is an excellence that I try to capture in every piece I create.
Those who collect and invest in Jacobson native art deserve that attention to detail and excellence as well. It is a symbiotic relationship between artist and collectors. It is a divine relationship in its essence, the art and the spirit of that being tied to all things. We are the sacredness of the circle. Clarity and integrity are a vital part of my legacy. All my relations, MAJ
