Realism, US Western
October 4, 1861, Canton, New York
Frederic Remington, who spent most of his life in the eastern United States, became famous for his visual and written portrayals of the American West. Though best known, now, for his paintings and small bronze sculptures, his illustrated pieces for Harper's Weekly made him a household name in his day. His works are characterized by being action-packed and colorful, often containing heroic portrayals of cowboys, Native Americans, soldiers, prospectors and the settlers of the Great Plains.
