Featured American Western Art Fine Artists

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...]
