Description
Karl Bodmer's America-The Man Who Stopped to Paint America gives the full range of his American works. Among the many painters of American West- of Native Americans, landscapes, and wildlife- no man is more respected and admired. Born in Zurich, Bodmer traveled with his patron, Prince Maximilian, to the upper Missouri country in 1832-1834. His original works dropped out of sight for over a hundred years but was rediscovered in the Wied estate after W.W.ll. The collection is now on permanent loan to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska.
