Auteur :
LOGAN, L.

Description :
This artist was one of the most important iconographers of the nineteenth-century American West. He invented an image of man and nature in the West by taking his preconceptions and applying them to Darwinian philosophy to create characters and environment which were less representations of reality than they were inventions of the imagination.
