Trappers, emigrants, adventurers and traders were elevated into ideal frontier types in 19th century American painting. The picturesque sentimentality of much of this art is on display in a traveling exhibiton documented by this album. However, the catalogue is interesting for a number of reasons. Besides stalwarts like George Caleb Bingham, Alfred Jacob Miller and George Catlin, the volume includes several less well-known painters. One of them, Charles Deas, lived among the Indians and portrayed their lives with deep feeling. Essays document the role that popular lithographs played in transmitting frontier images to a broad audience. A handful of the pictures are valuable as an ethnographic record of vanishing folkways. The text also demonstrates that writers such as Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper influenced the painters' pioneer vision. (May 15) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Before the landscapists and portrayers of cowboys who are the most familiar Old West artists came a handful of painters of Indian and white frontier life whose lives and work are treated by this set of intelligent, gorgeously illustrated essays. These pioneer-artists followed the rising star of genre painting, rendering intimate and dramatic scenes of everyday life. The images they created of the Indian, mountain man, trapper, and other Old Westerners became archetypal in the popular imagination thanks to mass reproduction by Currier and Ives and other printmakers. Here, four of those artists (George Caleb Bingham, Charles Deas, William Ranney, and Arthur F. Tait) are accorded separate chapters; five painters of Indians are considered in another essay; and the prints and their influence are discussed in yet another. A checklist for the exhibition that the book complements (now in Cody, Wyoming, and traveling to Fort Worth and Philadelphia) is appended. A necessary addition for thorough American art libraries.

As the art of the American West continues to grow in popularity, the diversity of its subject matter is increasingly appreciated. This volume, prepared to accompany an exhibition, provides a perceptive review of the narrative prints and paintings that delineated life on the frontier from 1835 to 1860. It focuses on the work of nine artists: George Caleb Bingham, Charles Deas, William Ranney, Arthur Tait, George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Charles Wimar, Seth Eastman, and Alfred Jacob Miller, incorporating the most recent scholarship on these artists, and critically examines their artistic endeavors in the context of US art. The role of artists in developing an image of life on the western frontier is explored by examining the strong narrative and genre traditions in the works of Bingham, Deas, Ranney, and Tait. It was the widely disseminated prints and numerous illustrations derived from their paintings that carried this western symbolism to the more densely populated eastern urban areas. The life and manner of the Indians of the West as portrayed by Catlin, Stanley, Wimar, and Miller became the source of inspiration for numerous eastern illustrators in the latter half of the 19th century. Discussion of the less frequently examined accomplishments of Deas, Ranney, and Tait is particularly useful. The clear, concise text and the attractive illustrations provide a solid introduction to this dimension of the nation's artistic evolution. Recommended.-P.D. Thomas, Wichita State University

This is the catalog of a traveling exhibition of Western American paintings and prints executed mostly during the first half of the 19th century. Here again are familiar figures like Catlin, Miller, Stanley, Bingham, et al., but in a slightly different context: they are presented as ethnographers who use narrative paintings, and lithographs of those paintings, to report on life in a land far from the Eastern consumers of these images. The authors of the seven essays commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center also make an effort to relate the images to literary reportage of the same time and place.
