Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowboy Artist Charlie Russell and Glacier National Park examines the intimate relationship artist Charlie Russell, and his wife, Nancy Russell, had with Glacier National Park for over twenty years in the early 1900s. At Bull Head Lodge, their Apgar summer home on Lake McDonald, Charlie Russell painted and sculpted, producing some of his most famous works, including major works illustrating Glacier National Park. The Russells also entertained numerous important figures in the art and literary worlds during their summers in the park, and these individuals and their relationships with the Russells are examined. The book also describes park excursions undertaken by Charlie and Nancy Russell designed to support tourism growth as well as to encourage sales of Charlie's art. Numerous examples of Charlie's art are presented in the book, and photographs of the Bull Head Lodge area as well as the park excursions are supplemented by modern photos. These modern photos, taken by the author, illustrate landscape changes that have occurred in the park over the 100-year period since the Russells were among the most significant celebrities to ever call Glacier National Park home.

Download or read book John Fery written by Larry Len Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In John Fery's lifetime, more Americans saw his art in person than almost any other artist. Train depots, hotels, universities, ships, travel agencies, and corporations all proudly displayed his magnificent paintings. What was not familiar was the man behind these impressive landscape paintings not only of Glacier National Park but also many other vistas of the American West. This biography makes use of almost 300 illustrations that document a remarkable life while also presenting the people and times in which Fery lived. Born Johann Levy in 1859 to a well-to-do family from Hungary, Fery was smitten early on with painting the Alps. After the death of both of his parents when he was just a teenager, Johann sought formal art training in Vienna, Munich, and Düsseldorf. By the early 1880s he had changed his name to John Fery and was hired on by German immigrant painters to work on cycloramas in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Years later, in 1910 Louis Hill hired John Fery to paint the scenery of Glacier National Park. These paintings were used as promotional tools to entice tourists to ride the train to the park and stay at the chalets and lodges that the Great Northern Railway built from 1910 to 1915. When that highly successful commission ended, Fery headed to California and was hired by the Southern Pacific Railway to paint Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and other views of California and Arizona. Thereafter, Fery wandered the West painting landscapes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. John and Mary Fery lived for awhile in Salt Lake City where several dealers sold his paintings, and he garnered commissions from a number of patrons to not only paint the Wasatch Mountains, but also the canyon lands of Bryce and Zion. In 1925 Fery once again was hired to paint Glacier country, especially the area around the newly constructed Prince of Wales Hotel (1927) in Canada just north of Glacier National Park. Later, he moved to the Puget Sound area and spent his final days there before dying in 1934.

Download or read book Sagebrush and Paintbrush The Story of Charlie Russell the Cowboy Artist written by Nancy Plain and published by Wise Wolf Books. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seemed that Charlie Russell could draw or paint anything. Wherever he went, his pencils and paints went with him-sometimes stuffed inside his socks. His cowboy friends recognized their faces in his pictures, which he dashed off on scraps of paper, bits of wood, and the linings of hats. This habit of sketching life on the Montana range earned Charlie the nickname "The Cowboy Artist," and he became famous throughout the world. But as good a friend as he was an artist, fame wasn't important to Charlie. In fact, notoriety was nowhere near as precious as the life he lived and the people loved. In this book, you'll read about the one-and-only Charlie Russell and how he lived his dream and honored the Old West through his renowned art.
