About the book

"George de Forest Brush (1854/1855-1941) created an important series of paintings of American Indians that was much celebrated in his time but has been seen rarely since. Brush combined extraordinary technical skills acquired during several years of training in the studio of Jean-Leon Gerome with firsthand experience living among the Arapahoe, Shoshone, and Crow Indians in Wyoming and Montana. This book, the first scholarly study of Brush's Indian paintings, features detailed discussions of individual paintings, interpretative essays exploring the historical and cultural context in which the paintings were produced, a comprehensive chronology, and lavish color reproductions of numerous paintings not shown publicly since the nineteenth century."--Jacket.
