According to his memoir, Robert Ottokar Lindneux was born in New York City in 1871. Demonstrating a talent for art at a young age he traveled to Europe and attended the Art Academy in Dusseldorf, Germany; the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, France; and the Munich Academy. In 1889 Lindneux saw the Buffalo Bill Wild West show in Paris; this was a pivotal experience that sparked his passion for the American West. Lindneux returned to America in 1898 and worked his way west to Montana. He worked as a trapper, horse wrangler and cowboy, learning about the life he wanted to paint. Settling in Denver, Colorado in 1918 Lindneux embarked upon a prolific career. Lindneux died in 1970. Lindneux’s best known works are the life size portrait of Buffalo Bill at the Buffalo Bill Museum on Lookout Mountain near Denver, Colorado and Trail of Tears on display at the Frank Phillips Woolaroc Museum, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The Colorado History Museum houses several of Lindneux’s significant historical works including Sand Creek Massacre.
