Frederic Remington

111 pp. "Explores Remington's love of the Wild West through his vibrant & skillful paintings, etchings, drawings & sculptures. From his youth it was apparent that he possessed a natural talent as a draughtsman &, once he discovered a love of the outdoor life, he set about recording some of the most colorful, if bloody, episodes America's history. As his fascination with the West grew, & with it the mastery he displayed at capturing its spirit, a group of European Impressionists painters were finding unprecedented ways of reproducing the fugitive effects of light & shade. Some of this was to rub off on Remington."
