Painting Description
"Buffalo Hunt, Surround, c.1832" is a notable painting by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a scene of Native American life that was central to the Great Plains culture. Created around 1832, this work is part of Catlin's larger project to record the disappearing traditions and practices of Native American tribes, which he undertook during several trips to the Western United States beginning in the 1830s.
The painting vividly captures the drama and intensity of a buffalo hunt, where Native American hunters are seen encircling a herd of bison. The technique of "surround" was a communal hunting strategy employed by various Plains tribes, such as the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Crow, to harvest bison, which were a critical resource for food, clothing, and shelter. In the painting, Catlin illustrates the dynamic movement of both the bison and the hunters, emphasizing the skill and bravery involved in the hunt.
George Catlin was an American painter, writer, and traveler who became famous for his portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. His work is considered an invaluable record of indigenous cultures and practices during a period of rapid change and displacement due to westward expansion of European-American settlers. Catlin's dedication to documenting these scenes stemmed from a belief that the Native American way of life was under threat and that his art could preserve their heritage for future generations.
"Buffalo Hunt, Surround, c.1832" is part of Catlin's Indian Gallery, a collection of works that toured the United States and Europe, providing many viewers with their first glimpse into the lives of Native American peoples. The painting is not only a work of art but also an important historical document, reflecting the interests and concerns of early 19th-century America regarding the West and its original inhabitants. Today, Catlin's works, including "Buffalo Hunt, Surround," are held in various museum collections and are studied for their ethnographic significance as well as their artistic merit.
