1.)Catlin loved the west and it's people, admiring their ferocity and customs.
2.)The Sioux were initially weary of Catlin's paintings, fearing they may steal their soul through the canvas.
3.)Catlin's painting tried to capture what the eyes see, such as the colours and light, just like Impressionist painters.
--
1.)Tanner spent most of his life in France because it was a major art spot in the world (his teacher had studied there).
2.)Tanner's work was viewed in France without racial background, unlike the US which merely labeled him as a African American Artist.
3.)Tanner's work changes after his trip to Palestine through the use of Palestinian architecture/clothing and modern 'electricity' in his paintings.
4.)Not quite, there is some little things like colour usage/concepts but overall, Tanner's work tended to stick to a more traditional, realistic art style.

George Catlin - 1. He loved the west and he loved the people which led him to paint many pieces based on Indians. He wanted to capture their moments because he was sure that they would soon be taken over and killed.

Henry Ossawa Tanner - 1. One reason Tanner spent most of his life in France was because he wanted to be accepted into the salon as much as possible and he couldn't do that as well if he didn't live there.

Caitlin loved and admired the West. He admired and respected the Native Americans. He admired their courage, fierceness, and their beauty among many other characteristics, which was captured in his paintings.

Tanner was referred to a negro in America where as in France he was referred to and respected as an American artist not for his skin tone.

Catlin:
2. The Souix were amazed by Catlins paintings, and believed them to be strong spiritual healings. They also believed Catlin to be an honorable and powerful medicine man, but feared that if he painted you, it would trap your soul.

Ossawa Tanner:
1. Tanner spent a majority of his life in France, not just for equality's sake, but also to gain recognition from the most prestigious salons in the world. If he could make it big in Paris, then his career would undoubtedly be a success.

Catlin loved the West. He loved the Native Americans.

Tanner spent his time in France because his teacher, Thomas Eakins studied in France. Eakins encouraged all his students to go study in France because they'll most likely be accepted in the salon if they do and Tanner wanted to be accepted.

George Catlin: At first the Souix felt Catlin's paintings would capture their souls within the canvas. After one brave man allowed Catlin to paint his self portrait, the other Native Americans felt save with being painted as well. This lead to the Souix's amazement with Catlin's work and believed him to be a witch doctor with spiritual healing abilities.
Henry Ossawa Tanner: Tanner's work changes after his trip to Palestine through his use of colors. In the painting he incorporates the Palestinian architecture and culture. He changes the idea of what an angel usually represented as from a figure with wings to a beam of bright light. Mary in the painting is depicted as an average modern woman making the viewer from they can see themselves standing before the spirit too.

Catlin:
1. Caitlin greatly respected the Native American people and their culture.

Tanner:
1. In his time, being accepted into the salon was really a make or break part of being a artist. In order to ensure that he would be accepted, it only makes sense that he would live there.
