Relive
the spirit of the American West through the eyes of Frederic
Remington, Charles Russell, Henry Farny and William Ranney.
The Wild West - While the Eastern United States was beginning
to experience the Second Industrial Revolution (which
started around 1871), the frontier was beginning to fill
up. In the early days of the wild west, a great deal of
the land was in the public domain, open both to livestock
raising as open range and to homesteading. Throughout
much of the Old West, there was little to no local law
enforcement, and the military had only concentrated presence
at specific locations. Buffalo hunters, railroad workers,
drifters and soldiers scrapped and fought, leading to
the shootings where men died "with their boots on."
Artist's subjects range from early settler's, native americans
and mountain men, to cowboy life in the old west.

Remington's
observation while covering the Sioux campaign of 1890-91.
"I sat near the fire and looked intently at one human
brute {a Brule Sioux} opposite, a perfect animal, so far as
I could see. Never was there a face so replete with human
depravity, stolid, ferocious, arrogant, and all the rest,
ghost shirt, war-paint, feathers, and arms. As a picture,
perfect; as a reality, horrible."
Frederic Remington
American
painter, sculptor, illustrator, and writer, born in Canton, N.Y.,
studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts and the Art Students League.
His subjects, drawn largely from his life on the Western plains,
are chiefly horses, soldiers, Native Americans, and cowboys, each
modeled or painted with sympathetic understanding and usually
in spirited action. His paintings are exciting and accurate portrayals
of the West and have been extensively reproduced in color prints.
Remington was war correspondent for the Hearst papers in the Spanish-American
War. An indefatigable worker, he completed more than 2,700 paintings
and drawings.
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2004.
200+
Remington works include; a beautiful collection of color and b&W,
gouache, watercolor and oil, pen and ink plates reproduced with
expressive and imaginative scenes of frontier life in the West.
Indian tribes of the Apache, Cheyenne, Navajo and Sioux. Western
scouts, trappers, hunting and fishing, cattle drives and more.
His early works as well as magazine illustrations, bronze sculptures
and most notable paintings throughout his life. A wonderful example
of his work.

Charles Russell
Charles
Marion Russell was born on March 19, 1864, near St. Louis, Missouri.
Russell was an accomplished painter, sculptor and Illustrator
whose fascination with the American West resulted in over 2500
works of art.
Russell's family was of some prominence in business and public
affairs and had strong ties to the West. A great-grandfather ,
Silas Bent, had been in charge of surveying the Louisiana Territory
and was later an eminent Justice. Four great-uncles, William (married
into the Cheyenne indians), Charles (appointed the first American
govenor of New Mexico), George and Robert Bent, had been fur traders
on the upper Missouri and builders of Bent's Fort on the Arkansas
in 1828.
Shortly before turning 16, Russell was sent by his parents to
Montana, in hopes it would settle him down and prepare him for
the family business back home. He spent the next eleven years
working various ranching jobs. He sketched in his free time and
soon gained a local reputation as an artist. His firsthand experience
as a ranch hand and his intimate knowledge of outdoor life contributed
to the precise realism characteristic of his style.
Russell achieved national recognition after he married Nancy Cooper
in September, 1896. With her guidance, support and natural business
sense, Russell sold his paintings for thousands and tens of thousands
of dollars and began a successful career as an Illustrator.
150+
Russell works include;
accurate depictions of early life in the west using gouche, pencil,
watercolor and oils on canvas and wood. Russell himself was a
cowboy who identified with the subjects he created. Beautiful
portraits of indian life on the plains, in addition to struggles
with the white man. Also, early scenes of western expansion with
Lewis and Clark. Russell's humorous side are revealed in "The
Tenderfoot," one of many illustrations he painted for Century
magazine and Sports Afield. His whimsical wax and clay figures
and his amazing bronze sculptures are also represented.

William Ranney
Born
in Middletown, Connecticut. At the age of thirteen he was taken
to Fayetteville, North Carolina, by his uncle, where he was apprenticed
to a tinsmith, but seven years later he was studying drawing in
Brooklyn. When the Texan struggle began, Ranney enlisted, and
during the campaign became acquainted with many trappers and guides
of the west. After his return home he devoted himself mainly to
portraying their life and habits. Among his works are "Boone's
First View of Kentucky, " "On the Wing," "Duck-Shooting,
" "The Trapper's Last Shot." He was a frequent
exhibitor at the National academy, of which he was elected an
associate in 1850.
Edited Appletons Encyclopedia, © 2001.
18+
Ranney paintings.
Not as prolific as Remington, Russell and Farny, Ranney's paintings
show us everyday life on the frontier. Duck shooting, animal trapping
and hunting, prairie fires and death, are shown in his wonderful
illustrations.
Henry Farny
Cincinatti
painter Henry Farny gained renown for his somewhat idealized,
but largely realistic depictions of Native American life, especially
for his empathetic portrayals of Blackfoot, Zuni, Apache and Plains
Indian subjects. He was born in Ribeauville, France in 1847 and
came to the U.S in 1853. In 1859, he and his family moved to Cincinnati,
a city with a strong economic and popular interest in the Western
States. Farny trained at the detail-oriented Dusseldorf Academy
in Germany, and painted a 'Great West' more realistic than the
fanciful 'Wild West' of Frederick Remington and Charles M. Russell.
80+
Farny gouache, watercolor
and oil paintings include; Indian tribes of the Apache, Moki,
Cheyenne and Sioux, Crow, Zuni and Nez Perce. Depictions of indians;
scouting, hunting and ambushing, dancing and everyday life on
the frontier. Indian chiefs, scouts, warriors and braves, fishermen,
water carriers and medicine men. A few paintings of cowboys and
settler's on the plain are also included.
