Karl Bodmer's Western Wildlife

National Museum of Wildlife Art - Jackson, WY

Karl Bodmer "Head Of A Buffalo"

Beginning May 8th, the National Museum of Wildlife Art opens the "Karl Bodmer's Western Wildlife: Original Sketches from the Joslyn Art Museum".

Accompanying German naturalist Prince Maximilian zu Wied on an expedition up the Missouri River from 1832 - 1834, Swiss artist Karl Bodmer was one of the first European artists to explore and sketch the North American frontier. The combination of Bodmer's beautifully rendered drawings and Maximilian's scientific observations created a body of work of unique historical, scientific, and aesthetic importance. Bodmer is best known today for his portraits of American Indians and his views of the extraordinary Missouri River Valley landscape. However, he also recorded the fauna encountered by the team. Over the course of the expedition, Bodmer produced finely executed and wonderfully detailed studies of a wide variety of animals, birds, and reptiles. Sometimes drawn from the wild and presented in their natural habitat, sometimes rendered from creatures shot as specimens, these works were given the same attention and care as Bodmer's other paintings. This exhibit brings these rarely seen records of North American fauna to light. The images are both a valuable record of Bodmer's journey and are some of the earliest depictions of North American animals to be seen in the Eastern United States and in Europe. Generously sponsored by Gold: Jane & Nelson Schwab, Oklahoma City Friends of NMWA, Charlotte & Hank Stifel; Silver: Jackson Hole Friends of the Museum, Marcia Kunstel & Joe Albright, Spring Creek Ranch, and Jade & David Walsh.
