Add to ORKGBrian Dippie provides a corrective to the image of George Catlin as a hopeless romantic. Stung by criticism in eastern artistic circles, Catlin headed west on a new path to fame and fortune (p. 11). After a few years visiting the Indians, he spent more than thirty years hustling to find a patron and to market his work. That he failed to do so was not for want of effort. According to Dippie, Catlin would try anything to make a dollar from his art (p. 21) and Indians were worth more to him dead than alive once he had captured their likenesses: Catlin\u27s heart might bleed, but his eye was coolly fixed on the main chance (p. 117)
