Among his small party was artist Karl Bodmer (1809-1893), who would prove to be one of the most accomplished and prolific artists to visit the American frontier. Bodmer and Maximilian traveled more than 2,500 miles together, spending time among the Mandan, Hidatsa, Omaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Yankton, Santee Sioux, Assiniboines, Plains Cree, Blackfeet, Piegans, Bloods, and Gros Ventre. Bodmer's watercolors of the people he met remain among the most compelling visual accounts of the American West, an invaluable record of the Missouri River's Indigenous communities. The first publication to focus on Bodmer as a portraitist, \u003ci\u003eFaces from the Interior\u003c\/i\u003e includes essays examining his artistic practice, the international dissemination of his images, and the ongoing significance of his work to Indigenous communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toby Jurovics, Scott Manning Stevens, Lisa Strong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735441643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735441641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 9.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Toby Jurovics","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045122830591,"sku":"9781735441641","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c7d1e48-4077-4d88-8d0b-5d0ef786d27f.jpg?v=1684976866","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faces-from-the-interior-toby-jurovics-9781735441641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
