Mr. Connors was previously the Associate Curator of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in the early 1990s when Mr. Ted Turner and Ms. Jane Fonda requested a tour of the buffalo[bison]-focused paintings by George Catlin painted in the 1830s and 1840s. Mr. Connors will share his memories of preparing for the visit and the deep knowledge Mr. Turner conveyed by identifying herd behaviors depicted in the paintings.
