A Dash for the Timber, The Stampede, Last Lull in the Fight, are the very titles of Frederic Remington's paintings and sculptures that convey the excitement of the American West. Between 1889 and 1909, the last years of the wild riding cowboy and the trooper of the plains, this extraordinarily talented American artist produced images of life in the West that still fire our imagination. But in such works as The Bronco Buster and Episode of a Buffalo Hunt Remington went beyond the descriptive realism that his titles suggest to convey a sense of relentless conflict between human and natural forces. David McCullough sketches a striking portrait of Remington, a man of powerful and complex personality. Doreen Burke, Curator in the American Wing of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, places him in the context of his artistic generation at home and abroad. Peter Hassrick, author of the standard monograph on Remington and Director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, traces the artist's development from a magazine illustrator to a brilliant and versatile painter. Michael Shapiro, Chief Curator at The Saint Louis Art Museum, shows that Remington's dazzlingly cantilevered bronzes were at the forefront of developments in sculpture in Europe and America. Made expressly for this book, the superb color plates that accompany Shapiro's essay open new avenues of interpretation and visual experience for admirers of Remington's work. Enhancing the text are more than 100 reproductions in color and in high quality black and white of Remington's paintings' drawings, photographs, and sculptures. There are fascinating views of the artist painting and adventuring in the West or working in his studio filled with props and memorabilia.
