About This Item
"This book began several years ago as an article. I intended to detail George Catlin's quest as a case study in the history of art patronage in America. I was attracted to Catlin because of his surpassing importance to students of Indian culture. ...Catlin... spent only a few years in what he considered real Indian country. The rest of his long life-- with the exception of his enticingly obscure wanderings in South America in the 1850s-- was devoted to promoting, repainting, and selling his collection. ...As those who intersected with Catlin emerged as individuals, the limited case study I had once contemplated became a series of case studies, all linked by the common themes of patronage and Indians..." xix, 553 pages, 16 color plates, 125 black&white illustrations; Notes, pages 441-526; Bibliographical Notes, 527-533; Index, 535-end; 26 cm.; Very Good in Very Good dust jacket (spine sunned).
