Frederic
Remington Art Museum Collection
by Brian W. Dippie, Lowell MacAllister
Cowboys and horses, adventure in wide-open spaces. The mythos of the
Old West comes alive in the paintings, drawings, and sculptures of Frederic
Remington (1861-1909). Born during the Civil War and educated at Yale University,
Remington committed his life to making portraits of the American frontier.
The Frederic Remington Art Museum Collection presents the collection of
the museum founded by and housed in the former home of Remington's widow,
Eva Caten Remington.
For much of his creative life, Remington worked as an illustrator for
publications like Harper's Weekly. His renderings of life in the Old West
were hugely successful, and some even accompanied an essay by President
Theodore Roosevelt. His drawings displayed a strongly believable atmosphere:
[Remington's] illustrated scenes from the Apache War were rendered in
a direct, spare and unsentimental style with an attention to detail that
made them seem like snapshots of specific incidents. In truth, like much
of Remington's reality, they were generalizations, not documents, created
by extrapolating freely from firsthand observations.
Today Remington's work is often seen as problematic, and as evidence
of the racist brutality that wiped out the American Indian culture and
population. Of course, in Remington's time, his views of the frontier reflected
those of most of the United States. Aside from these political complexities,
Remington's work captures the imagery of a time and a landscape long gone.
If you are fascinated by the Old West, then you should not miss this book.
The book includes detailed commentary on the paintings and drawings, with
333 illustrations and 127 full-color plates. --J.P. Cohen - Amazon.com
