In the decades bracketing the turn of the twentieth century,
Charles M. Russell depicted the American West in a fresh, personal,
and deeply moving way. To this day, Russell is celebrated for his
paintings and sculptures of cowboys at work and play, his sensitive
portrayals of American Indians, and his superlative representations
of landscape and wildlife. This handsome book--a companion volume
to the acclaimed "Charles M. Russell: A Catalogue Raisonne," edited
by B. Byron Price--showcases many of the artist's best-known works
and chronicles the sources and evolution of his style.
Here are iconic images that have defined the West in the popular
imagination for more than a century. The volume boasts
reproductions, most in full color, of more than 150 of Russell's
finest works in oil, bronze, and mixed media. Select examples of
his drawings, watercolors, and illustrated letters as well as
archival photographs place Russell's paintings and sculpture in
historic and artistic context.
This sumptuous volume is an essential addition to the library of
every aficionado of American western art. In its pages readers will
discover the work of a man whose ideal vision of the American
experience continues to stir the spirit nearly a century after his
death.
