The Shaping of Euro North American Masculinities and the Representation
of Native Men

What makes a man? The paintings of Western artists such as George
Catlin, Felix O.C. Darley and Frederick Remington are examples of how
the image of the Aboriginal male was altered to change the definition of
masculinity in Euro-North American Victorian society. Join art historian
Roland Maurice as he explores the image of the "Wild Indian" in art as a
popular example for the late Victorian male of unadulterated male power,
admired for his strength, courage and savagery.
