Download or read book Remington Russell and the Language of Western Art written by Peter H. Hassrick and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As young men, Remington and Russell struck out for the West, seeking adventure and self-identity. Remington stayed for only one year, Russell for the rest of his life. But both eventually became artists, and both took as their subject the disappearing West and its people. Different in temperament and style, they became the focal point of a manufactured rivalry that dominated the American art scene at the turn of the twentieth century and in essence pitted East against West. Camps of followers developed, and duels were waged on their behalf in the press, although neither Remington nor Russell directly engaged in the rivalry.".
Download or read book Charles M Russell written by John Taliaferro and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first comprehensive biography of Charles M. Russell examines the colorful life and times of Montana’s famed Cowboy Artist. Born to an affluent St. Louis family in 1864, young Russell read thrilling tales of the West and filled sketchbooks with imagined frontier scenes. At sixteen he left home and headed west to become a cowboy. In Montana Territory he consorted with cowpunchers, Indians, preachers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes, while celebrating the waning American frontier’s glory days in some 4,000 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculptures. Before his death in 1926, Russell saw the world change dramatically, and the West he loved passed into legend. By then he was revered as one of the country’s ranking Western artist with works displayed in the finest galleries, his romantic vision of the Old West forever shaping our own. Taliaferro reveals the man behind the myth in his multifaceted complexity: extraordinarily gifted, self-effacing, charming, mischievous, and playful, a friend to rough frontier denizens and Hollywood stars alike. The author also explores Russell’s controversial partnership with his fiery young wife, Nancy, whose ambition and business savvy helped establish Russell as one of America’s most popular artists.

Download or read book Remington Russell and the Art of the American West written by Kate F. Jennings and published by Smithmark Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For most of us, the art of the American West is epitomized in the work of two gifted turn-of-the-century artists: Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Indeed, the way they jointly imagined the semi-legendary Old west to have been has now become the way we imagine it: the images of the Old West that we see today in films, in book and magazine illustrations, in retrospective paintings and sculpture, even in the theater of our own minds, are all in some degree beholden to images crystallized nearly 100 years ago by these two men. The term "crystallized" is, however, important, for Remington and Russel obviously invented neither the West nor the art that depicted it. Artists -- some of great distinction -- had been producing images of the West for a full century before Remington and Russell appeared on the scene, and Remington and Russell, for all their skill and innovative brilliance, worked within an already established tradition. They may have produced some of the most memorable expressions of that tradition, but they never broke with it. Nor have most of today's Western artists really broken with it. Even works as original and personal as the masterly paintings of Georgia O"Keeffe are strewn with such familiar elements of Western imagery as sun-bleached antelope skulls, barren, eroded hills, and stark adobe walls. If the intentions of Western artists have been as various as idioms in which they have addressed us, for 200 years the great traditions of Western art have nevertheless given their works both a common grammar and a special resonance. In this handsome portfolio of western painting and sculpture since the 1820s, author Kate F. Jennings well illustrates the continuities that underlie the seeming diversity of Western art. And by focusing in particular on Remington and Russell, she allows us to see their work in its true context -- as an especially brilliant link in what amounts to an unbroken chain, as a novel and imaginative summation of all that had gone before and a startlingly potent influence on all that would follow."--Publisher's description

Download or read book The Book of the American Indian written by Hamlin Garland and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In these and other stories written from 1890-1905, Hamlin Garland sought to capture his vision of the spirit of the Native American Indian in transition. Based on ten years of visits to reservations in the American West, these stories are of interest for readers today in part because they illustrate a sincere and well-intentioned white reformer coming to understand a culture radically at odds with his own - and discovering in the process that his own culture is less "advanced" than he had supposed." "This edition reprints the text and illustrations from the 1923 printing as well as two of Garland's essays indicting the treatment of Indians. An introduction places the stories in the historical context of Garland's life and times."--BOOK JACKET.
