“George de Forest Brush: The Indian Paintings”
National Gallery of Art in DC, September 14 –January 4, 2009
George de Forest Brush, (1855-1941) born in Tennessee, taught at Cooper Union and the Art Students League in New York.
In the 1880s , he lived among the American Indians of Montana and Wyoming (Arapahoe, Shoshone, Crow) and did a series of paintings, 20 of which are on view here. The paintings were all posed and done in studio, but they still capture a period of time in our past.
