SAVE 20% when you buy this masterpiece before December 25. We regard Karl Bodmer’s 1832 – 1834 original watercolors of the American Indian to be the most important, beautiful and compelling images of the Plains Indians. We are proud to offer the exclusive, first-ever archival reproductions of his original watercolors.At the beginning of his American journey, Karl Bodmer was a 23-year old Swiss artist who could not have imagined the new world he found himself exploring. With a heightened sense of awareness, an extraordinary eye for detail and a great gift for rendering on paper everything he saw – Bodmer gave us powerful portraits of the indigenous American nobility. Péhriska-Rúhpa (“Two Ravens”) posed for Bodmer in March, 1834 wearing the regalia of the leader of the Hidatsa Dog Society. He was a warrior and tribal chief whose depiction in our Perfect Recreation of this original watercolor is the iconic image of the Plains Indians, the “Dog Dancer”. Watch the VIDEO. "Real Bodmers aren't for sale, but stunning re-creations are." The Omaha World-Herald praised our "high-resolution, painstakingly detailed reproductions of eight of Bodmer's most famous watercolors".
