Book Description
Art of the American Indian Frontier examines an incomparable collection of nineteenth-century Native American art from the North American Woodlands, Prairie, and Plains. The collection resulted from the efforts of Milford G. Chandler and Richard A. Pohrt, whose early childhood fascination with the Indian frontier past evolved into a deep and comprehensive interest in Native American ceremonies, beliefs, and art. Though neither was wealthy or enjoyed the sponsorship of a museum, they traveled extensively early in the twentieth century, buying or trading for objects they could not resist. This volume presents the Detroit Institute of Art's Chandler-Pohrt collection with detailed documentation and commentary. Clothing and accessories of porcupine quill and buckskin, woven textiles, bags, beadwork, necklaces, rawhide paintings, smoking pipes, tools, vessels and utensils, pictographs, and visionary paintings are portrayed in 220 stunning color plates. Complementing the illustrations are essays dealing with historical context, ethnographic issues, and the lives and philosophies of the collectors.

Book Description
This publication presents recent research in the field of western American narrative painting, and focuses on nine artists who helped to develop the images of the trapper, flatboatman, pioneer, Indian, and other American "types." It shows the familiar paintings of George Caleb Bingham in context with those of less-known artists such as William Rauney and Charles Wilmar and the relatively unknown works of Charles Deas. The essays demonstrate how the images of these and other artists were related to literature and to the popular prints through which they were transmitted to a wide audience. Narrative painting was especially prevalent in the years 1830 to 1860, when much of the public perception of the West was formed, and the scenes of the familiar--of everyday life--helped the unfamiliar and exotic West become an integral part of America's concept of itself.
