George Catlin, painter of the red man.



As a child, even reading the comic strips, it was clear that the American Indians were a people of "losers."
in epic battles in the vast plains of the west always won inexorably "whites." They were, however, and only the bad, ugly, dirty, illiterate and a little silly that were opposed to the great civilization white man: for this is easy to see that never had an easy time even the artists who sought to document all 'time' the truth 'of this great people of the Earth. Not only that.




Before Pope John Paul II the Church, while professing to be universal, underneath was the "Italian parish" with openings to other European countries and other countries. They were ages ago, but the Pope was always
Italian. After the Polish pope, the German pope, and here we hope to follow other non-European pope.
The same thing happens when talking about painting the geographical boundaries often stop at the continent Europe.
For these reasons, proposed over quickly, I want to talk about an American artist, George Catlin, who has documented with beautiful pictures to the world as were the American Indians before the white man.
was born in Wilkes-Barres, July 26, 1796 and died in New York on 23 dicembre1872. After having carried out other activities devoted himself to painting and from 1830 he moved with his wife in St. Louis who was the starting point for any future trip to the "wilderness". There he met the general and the great explorer who with William Clark Meriwether Lewis before him on trips and in the discovery of the great plains of India and its people, where Catlin realized Hundreds of portraits of scenes of Indian life and the most famous Indian leaders exist at the time.



His collection of paintings is now at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC, the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska, the Gilcrease Institute, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the American Museum of Natural History, New York but George Catlin was not sufficiently appreciated by their contemporaries.

In reality, the artist hoped, with exhibitions and conferences to raise the public's admiration for the splendor of the world redskins almost over, but this did not happen and documentation submitted by the artist on the Indian civilization were considered falsehoods. For this reason in 1838 it was proposed to Congress the purchase of the Catlin collection to place it in a national museum, but the initiative did not succeed. The painter disappointed he left the States to make known his painting of the red man and the world to Europe, but never had any luck and after returning to New York, died disappointed and in debt to 74 years.
