One of America's most popular and influential American artists,
Frederic Remington (1861-1909) is renowned for his depictions of
the Old West. Through paintings, drawings, and sculptures, he
immortalized a dynamic world of cowboys and American Indians,
hunters and horses, landscapes and wildlife. Frederic Remington: A
Catalogue Raisonne II is a comprehensive presentation of the
artist's body of flat work, both in print and on this book's
companion website. Beautifully illustrated with more than 150
figures and 100 color plates, this book offers insightful essays by
notable art historians who explore Remington's experiences in Taos,
New Mexico, and other parts of the West. The chapters include
analyses of Remington's artistic development from an illustrator to
a fine art painter, his search for and understanding of ""men with
the bark on,"" his relationship with the famed illustrator Howard
Pyle, and the shared imagery of Remington and ""Buffalo Bill""
Cody. A chapter considering Remington's enduring bond with the
horse and its representation in his paintings follows an
examination of Remington's ties to Theodore Roosevelt that reveals
how the two men helped move the American conscience toward wildlife
preservation. An assessment of the authentication process for
evaluating Remington's works opens the collection: Remington is
perhaps the most frequently faked American artist. The book
features a unique keycode granting access to a companion website
that brings together more than 3,000 reproductions of the artist's
flat works, including the complete original 1996 edition of the
Catalogue Raisonne and nearly 300 previously unknown or relocated
pieces. Each entry includes the title, date, medium, size,
inscriptions, provenance, and exhibition and publication history of
the work, as well as select commentary. The online catalogue is
fully searchable and will be continuously updated as new
information becomes available. Based on decades of scholarship and
research, the revised Remington Catalogue Raisonne is an essential
resource for scholars, collectors, museum curators, historians of
the American West, and anyone seeking definitive information on the
art of Frederic Remington. Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonne
II is published in cooperation with the Buffalo Bill Center of the
West, Cody, Wyoming.
