George Catlin and His Indian Gallery

In 1832, George Catlin-showman, entrepreneur, and artist-made the first of four trips into Indian country, painting as he went, in a wonderfully spontaneous, if somewhat naive style. His ambition was to paint every tribe. He fell short. But what he did achieve, and the subject of this splendid volume, is a remarkable look into the faces and daily activities of Native Americans before their lands and their numbers were so radically diminished. And while Catlin was clearly influenced by the idea that Indians were Noble Savages (rapidly acquiring the vices of the white man while losing their savage virtues), his passion for his work is evidence of a profound respect and affection for his subjects, clearly demonstrated in this magnificent book.From the foremost collection of the artist's work, a remarkable portrait of Native American life.

The Native American Artist Portfolio

For the first time in history, the U.S. Postal Service has authorized the creation of museum-quality prints based on the New Deal Post Office murals. The Native American Artist Portfolio is a limited edition boxed set of 18 reproductions that represents the work of two of the greatest Native American painters of the 20th century who participated in this historic American project. The portfolio is a limited edition set of 2,000. Each are numbered, titled and S Mopope is written on the back. A certificate of authenticity is included as well. Stephen Mopope, a Kiowa, and Acee Blue Eagle, a Creek-Pawnee, painted during an important and dynamic era when Native American art transitioned from a subject for ethnographers and anthropologists at the end of the 19th century to its establishment as a vital dimension of modern American painting.
