George Catlin's American buffalo / by Harris, Adam Duncan.; Catlin, George,1796-1872.Paintings.Selections.; National Museum of Wildlife Art.(CARDINAL)859168;

Includes bibliographical references.American artist George Catlin (1796-1872) journeyed west five times in the 1830s, traversing the Great Plains and visiting more than 140 American Indian tribes. Convinced that westward expansion from settlers spelled certain disaster for native peoples, Catlin traveled the frontier to paint landscapes and portraits of native tribes, to document their lives and customs before (as he feared) they vanished. He produced hundred of canvases, which he called his Indian Gallery. Ambitious in scope, and filled with color and closely observed detail, the Indian Gallery remains one of the wonders of the nineteenth century. In many of his paintings, Catlin recorded the massive herds of buffalo that roamed the Great Plains; in chronicling the lifeways of Plains Indian cultures, he captured the central importance of the buffalo in their daily lives, from food and shelter to ceremony and naming. This book presents forty original Catlin paintings from the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The author explores the artist's representation of the close relationship between Native Americans and the buffalo. Using Catlin's own writings, the author also considers the artist's role as an early proponent of wilderness conservation and the national park idea, and how that advocacy remains relevant today -- to the Great Plains, the buffalo, and land use.
