A highly detailed watercolor portrait of Mo Cherry, Upper Mohawk, Six Nations Iroquois, wearing his Montreal Canadiens hat. Executed by celebrated Canadian artist Ivan Kocsis(1933-2008). Kocsis was well known for painting the Native people of Canada, particularly the Iroquois, from the Paleolithic age to the present in the correct cultural and social setting.
Held in collections and musuems throughout the world, including Pope John Paul, who received two of Kocsis\' paintings on his Canadian visit. Kocsis was native expert and adviser to the Royal Ontario Musuem and the Musuem Of Man in Ottawa, as well as many other musuems. He deemed his contemporary Iroquios paintings his most difficult and best works.
Ivan Kocsis came to Canada in 1956 and promptly fell in love with his new country for its natural, wild beauty. He took to heart the story of the First Nations and devoted the rest of his life to painting and drawing the history of this continent\'s indigenous people. An amateur archaeologist and historian as well, Kocsis collected thousands of artifacts and made hundreds of pages of drawings. He visited the Six Nations Indian Reserve often and became friends with Chief Jacob Thomas and Walter Cooke at the Hamilton Regional Indian Centre. Ivan was made an Honorary Member of the Mohawk tribe. His works are in private and public collections across Canada and the United States, notably, the Smithsonian, the Museum of Man in Ottawa and the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.
