George Catlin I
1796–1872, USA, Südamerika, Romantik
George Catlin reiste in den 1830er-Jahren den Missouri hinauf und malte Hunderte Bildnisse und Szenen aus dem Leben der indigenen Völker der Prärien; später zeigte er seine „Indian Gallery“ in Europa. In den 1850er-Jahren bereiste er Südamerika und malte noch einmal vieles aus dem Gedächtnis neu – die „Cartoon Collection“. Seine Bilder sind ein wichtiges Zeugnis, zugleich aber der Blick eines weißen Amerikaners, der damit auch Geld verdienen wollte.
