Karl Bodmer's studio art : the Newberry Library Bodmer collection by W. Raymond Wood( Book )

3 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 371 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"To document the natural history and inhabitants of the American West, Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied selected the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer to accompany him on his 1833-34 expedition up the Missouri River. Beginning in St. Louis, they journeyed as far as inland waterways could take them, through present-day Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and into Montana." "During the expedition, twenty-three-year-old Bodmer sketched and painted a wealth of landscapes and Native American portraits that would be immortalized as engravings in Maximilian's published journals and accompanying atlas. Now considered the most vivid and instructive depiction of the nineteenth-century American West and its people prior to the decimation of many Plains tribes by disease, Bodmer's artwork continues to intrigue historians, scholars, and collectors." "This volume collects Bodmer's studio art, a series of compositions he created in his Paris studio. These images, thirteen of them previously unpublished, are augmentations of the artist's expeditionary sketches and watercolors rendered in the complicated process of completing the aquatints. The publication of the Newberry Library Bodmer Collection, together with five sketches from the Baltimore Museum of Art, brings together nearly all of Bodmer's extant works not previously collected in book form. Karl Bodmer's Studio also includes sketches that Bodmer did not use for later paintings or engravings."--Jacket

Travels in the interior of North America during the years 1832-1834 by Maximilian Wied( Book )

2 editions published in 2001 in English and held by 169 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In 1832, Maximilian Prince of Wied set out with the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer on an expedition to study the way of life of the North American Indians. Starting at the east coast, they followed the courses of the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers until they reached the far northern regions of present-day Montana. While the Prince collected ritual implements, noted his observations, and transcribed his conversations with the Indians, Karl Bodmer created fascinating watercolors. Bodmer portrayed the chieftains and the warriors, the dances and the ceremonies, and even captured the bison on the broad expanses of the prairies -- images that the general public had never seen before. Consequently, on their return from Europe, they published a portfolio of their experiences with 81 plates and two volumes of text. This reproduction presents all 81 of the plates and a selection of Prince Maximilian's text
