Product Description

From the Publisher

Choice Selection of Russell's art
In 1880, Charles M. Russell headed west to Montana, where he worked as a wrangler and chronicled in paint, ink, and watercolor the West and its people. For his splendid depictions of bronco riders, roundups, and everyday ranch life, Russell soon became known as "the Cowboy Artist." Yet this was a "Cowboy Artist" who also spent much time among the Indians and developed a sympathetic understanding and appreciation for their efforts to preserve their way of life. Russell's memorable paintings and drawings portray a frontier that was vanishing, not only for Indians but also for cowboys.

Peter H. Hassrick discusses Russell's work in the context of the artist's experiences in the West and the people who influenced his artistic style. Included are reproductions of a choice selection of Russell's paintings, drawings, and sculpture, each accompanied by a brief commentary.

"Beautifully illustrated. . . . Hassrick's meticulously crafted study provides a sensitive introduction not only to Russell's art but also to the cultural context in which it developed."--Choice

"By means of this intelligent and well-designed book, we can return through Russell's paintings to the mythic West. It's worth the trip."--American Artist --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
