Joslyn Art Museum

Jesús Moroles – The Omaha Riverscape 2008-09


Joslyn Art Museum is internationally renowned for its holdings of work by some of the earliest artists and explorers of the American West, including 400 watercolors and drawings by Karl Bodmer and over 120 watercolors and oils by Alfred Jacob Miller, both of whom portrayed the trans-Missouri frontier in the 1830s, as well as the North American Journals of Prince Maximilian of Wied, one of the most critical accounts of Plains Indian life. The collection also includes work by Bierstadt, Couse, Eastman, Moran, Remington, Russell, and Wimar, and significant collections of historic and contemporary Native American art.
