American Western Art emerged in three phases. The first phase occurred as the frontier expanded from the original 13 Colonies to the Mississippi River, included artists such as such as Charles Bird King, George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, and Alfred Jacob Miller mostly depicting American Indian life. The second phase arose in the post-Civil War era, as the American migration expanded west of the Mississippi to the plains and the Rockies, included artists such as Frederic Remington, Charles Schreyvogel, and Charles Russell, mostly depicting the romantic figure of the cowboy, as well as the American Indian. Remington and Schreyvogel were easterners who only occassionally visited the West, but Russell, known during his life as "the Cowboy Artist," migrated west as a youth from St. Louis, his birthplace, to Montana to work first on a sheep ranch and then as a cowhand. The third phase began in the early 20th Century with a nostalgia for a wild American West now largely tamed, settled, and civilized, an interest that has continued and intensified into the 21st Century, including artists such as James Bama, Jack Sorenson, and Tim Cox.

Frederick Remington was born in 1861 in Canton, New York, and died in 1909. He studied art at Yale University and the Art Students League of New York. His early work appeared in Collier's and Harper's magazines. While the topic of his art was always the American West, he continued to live in the east, primarily in New York, for his whole life, making only occasional visits to the western frontier. His visits to the West were early enough, however, to allow him to see it yet unspoiled by the encroaches of civilization. Remington was a cousin of George Catlin and the western sculptor Earl W. Bascom. [More...]
Charles Russell was born 1864 in Oak Hill, Missouri, and died in 1926. While he was largely a self-trained artist, he had done sketches and drawings since a youth. Unlike Frederic Remington, who merely visited the West, but didn't live there, Russell's experience and knowledge of the West was firsthand, having at age 16 gone to Montana to work on a sheep ranch, and later working as a cattlehand, or cowboy, while continuing to paint and sketch. During his career, he painted over 4,000 paintings and is also reknowned for his bronze scultures. [More...]
Jack Sorenson was born in 1955 in Amarillo, Texas. He was raised on a ranch on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon and broke horses as a teenager. His first solo exhibition of his paintings was in 1975 at the Webb Galleries in Amarillo. [More...]
