DVD DESCRIPTION:
AMERICAN IMAGES, 1590-1876:
Featuring the art of explorer-artists Catlin,
Bodmer, Audubon, McKenny, de Bry and Moran, this program is filled with vivid
images of a now-vanished world. It presents a remarkable 300-year survey of the
impact of European civilization on the New World - in particular, the tragic
effect on the lives and cultures of the American Indians. FAMOUS ARTISTS • FLORA
• FAUNA • NATIVE AMERICANS - This program, complete with classical music
accompaniment, presents a superb selection of the most beautiful prints ever
made of native American peoples, landscapes, creatures and plants. Included are
Audubon's birds and mammals, de Bry's engravings - the first to depict the
Indians of the southeast - and Catesby's 18th-century color prints of American
plants and animals. DVD EXTRAS: Many aspects of Native American cultures are
preserved and interpreted at National Parks and surrounding tribal and federal
parklands. The DVD Extras explore these themes.
Released 3/06.
