This one-hour documentary profiles the fascinating and paradoxical life of North American landscape and portrait artist, Paul Kane. A mix of art, history and exploration, Visions from the Wilderness: The Art of Paul Kane examines the conflicting opinions about the historical and artistic value of Kane’s work. Kane travelled a continent to document a changing world, but then succumbed to the tastes of his audience when presenting his final work. Through his story, the documentary reveals the role artists play in relaying our history, and how their art is shaped by the cultural influences of the day.
