Additional Information
War Eagle was the name of a celebrated Dakota leader born in the 18th century. From the dress of the Indian standing lower center, this would appear to date from one of Hauser’s yearly trips to the American West, where he traveled and painted among a number of tribes, including the Dakota. Perhaps this is the camp of one of War Eagle’s descendants or a camp named for him. An important Cincinnati artist, John Hauser studied in Munich, Dusseldorf and Paris, developing a careful yet lush realism that is readily apparent in War Eagle’s Camp. In 1901 he was adopted into the Sioux nation and given the name “Straight White Shield.”
