| Carl Wimar was born in Germany in 1828, and came to the U.S. in 1843, settling near St. Louis, Missouri, where he was first exposed to and fascinated by the Native Americans who lived in the area. In 1852 he returned to Germany to study at the Dusseldorf Academy, learning the exacting draftsmanship that he would later use to depict the Native American subjects he sought. Upon his return to the U.S. Wimar made sketching expeditions along the Missouri River, looking for subject matter. Sadly, Wimar contracted tuberculosis, from which he died at 34, unable to complete a number of lucrative commissions.
