Hardcover. Condition: VG+/NF. Dust Jacket Condition: G. Paul Kane (illustrator). !st. From the 1840s artist Paul Kane (1810-1871 travelled vast distances in the USA and Canada completing a large collection of paintings and drawings of native Americans in their communities, illustrating, their culture, views of the country and its wildlife, thus providing "an important visual documentation" of the North American West. The artist made his way through wilderness areas by canoe, on foot, horse or snowshoes. "Paul. Kane's Frontier" features 48 colour plates of his art works and 204 b/w examples of his sketches/drawings from his travels in the US and Canada in 1845 and on his two year expedition beginning only a year later in 1846. His journeying included Vancouver Island, Oregon, The Rockies, the Great Lakes, Ontorio and recorded Indians in their traditional settings, before European influences brought great changes to their way of life. The artist worked in oils, watercolours and pencil and his images included a number of prominant chiefs, plus every-day subjects, to creatre a visual history of Indian posessions, buildings, clothing, cemoronials and dances, weapons and implements. The variety and scope of his works display the extent of his his regard and respect for the Indian people and his acceptance by them. Other works included examples of the onset of missionary and European settlement. In 1859 Kane's own account of his travel experiences appeared in the book "Wanderings of An Artist Among the Indians," pubished in London. It included 21 of his art works to accompany his extensive and detailed dariry of his "'wanderings, which is repeated in "Paul Kane's.Frontier" together with an account of his life before and after his travels, including his experiences and observations from previously unpublisheg personal papers, manuscripts and notes. While partially built around the original book, its successor ".Frontiers" greatly extends the knowledge of this impressive artist and "explorer" and his art works --- alll melded to provide this magnificent volume of North American art and history, compiled by J Russell Harper from the Fine Arts Department of Williams University, Montreal. Equally, praise must go the the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, Fort Worth, and the National. Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, who combined to publish the book, printed by the University of Toronto Press using paper stock of the highest quality. First edition of 1971, 350 pages including an extensive catalogue raisonne, 12 appendices, bibliography and index., illustrated throughout by Kane's art.
