The American Indian is an integral part of the rich and colorful history of the United States of America. Indigenous peoples gathered in tribes and hunted and farmed for sustenance. In the 1800s and 1900s, several painters and photographers made it their life’s work to capture the noble and memorable images of the North American Indian.

American Western artist Frederic Remington (1861-1909) is well known for his sculptures, illustrations, and magical paintings of the American West. His favorite subjects were horses, cowboys, Indians and soldiers.

Charles Marion Russell (1864-1926) was born in St. Louis, but when he became a teenager he headed west and eventually settled in Montana. He painted more than 4,000 works and became one of America’s most popular artists.

 Known as the “friend of the American Indian,” Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) is one of the most recognized and popular photographers of the North American Indian. Although born in Wisconsin, when his family moved to Washington State, he devoted his gift of photography to capture the life and times of the American Indian. Art prints of his award-winning photos are highly sought after and treasured today.
