BODMER - CATLIN SERIES
“Addih-Hiddisch, Hidatsa Chief”
Bronze
IMy first piece in this Series is a full figure of “Addih-Hiddisch, Hidatsa Chief” as painted in 1833 by Karl Bodmer. Bodmer wrote of his subject that he was a great warrior and chief and the geometric patterns on his body were tattoos, not paint. He wore a Euro-American hat, carried a trade tomahawk with a scalp lock attached and a peace medal around his neck.
