Frederic Remington's art is best known for paintings and sculptures depicting Amerca's Old West. Whether working alone, or with others, such as Owen Wister, Remington's paintings, sculptures, writings, and illustrations inspired an entire generation of readers and art aficionados. Many of his works were elegiac, an homage to an Old West that was rapidly disappearing. One striking accomplishment of Frederic Remington's art was the correct depiction of horses in motion.
Frederic Remington bronze statues include The Bronco Buster, his first statue, which started the genre called cowboy sculpture. Over 275 authorized casts have been made of this small statue, by methods that include sand-casting and lost-wax casting. Only one of the 21 existing Frederic Remington sculptures, The Cowboy, is considered to be full-sized. Discerning collectors will find many fine examples of other legendary sculptures for sale or at auction online.

Included in this lot is "Frederic Remington's 'Buckskins' Portraits Of The Old West... The Original Folio Of Eight Color Prints Superbly Reproduced", 1956, Eight (8) prints produced by Penn Prints, New York. These vintage Penn Prints lithographs each feature the signature of Frederic Remington and some are dated. Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861-1909) is considered one of the most renowned painter, illustrator and sculptor of the American Old West who spent his life retelling the scenes of the American West with images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry, amongst other Western culture. Illustrations and prints became an important part of Remington's fame and popularity with the American public. Throughout the 1890s, Remington was well known in American households as an illustrator of the Old West and military subjects. A hundred years ago, Remington created a stable of "types" or stereotypes that were understood not to be depictions of actual individuals. Often celebrated as an artist of action, of the figure in landscape, Remington did not often attempt portraiture, and populated his paintings with casts of recurring characters. The print series, "A Bunch of Buckskins," of 1901, published by R. H. Russell, names some of denizens of Remington's West which are included in this offering: A Breed, A Sioux Chief, A Cheyenne Buck, A Cavalry Officer, An Arizona Cowboy, A Trapper, An Army Packer, and Old Ramon. The prints are in very nice overall condition and come in the original softcover illustrated cardstock paper folio. All are suitable for framing. Each measures 16"L x 12"W approximately.
Presented in this lot is a Rare Edition "Done in the Open, Drawings by Frederick Remington," 1902 copyright Robert Howard Russell, P. F. Collier & Son Publisher, New York. "Done In The Open drawings by Frederic Remington with an introduction and verses Owen Wister and others" is a fascinating, early 20th-century collection of outdoor sketches by Frederic Remington and a verse collection published by American author, Owen Wister. Front inside cover has an attached news article from the Philadelphia Ledger regarding the sudden death of Remington. The book contains 72 Frederic Remington art pieces with a few in color. The piece shows 12 double page drawings, 28 full page drawings, and 32 smaller drawings. Each of the drawings is accompanied by the art?s title and a verse or poem about the piece. The book was a collaboration with the artist, Frederic Sackrider Remington, the verses being written to accompany Remington's drawings. Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, American Indians, and the US Cavalry. Remington's collaboration with Wister on The Evolution of the Cowpuncher, published by Harper's Monthly in September 1893, was the first statement of the mythical cowboy in American literature, spawning the entire genre of Western fiction, films, and theater that followed. Remington provided the concept of the project, its factual content, and its illustrations and Wister supplied the stories, sometimes altering Remington's ideas. Remington's prototype cowboys were Mexican rancheros, but Wister made the American cowboys descendants of Saxons. In truth, they were both partially right, as the first American cowboys were both the ranchers who tended the cattle and horses of the American Revolutionary Army on Long Island and the Mexicans who ranched in the Arizona and California territories. Remington was one of the first American artists to illustrate the true gait of the horse in motion (along with Thomas Eakins), The galloping horse became Remington's signature subject, which was copied and interpreted by many Western artists who followed him to adopt the correct anatomical motion. Though criticized by some for his use of photography, Remington often created depictions that slightly exaggerated natural motion to satisfy the eye. He wrote that "the artist must know more than the camera... (the horse must be) incorrectly drawn from the photographic standpoint (to achieve the desired effect). Also, noteworthy was Remington's invention of "cowboy" sculpture. From his inaugural piece, "The Bronco Buster", he created an art form which is still very popular among collectors of Western art. He has been called the "Father of Cowboy Sculpture." This cream and black colored cloth hardcover is in preserved condition. The front cover is illustrated with the Remington portrait, "Infantry Soldier", includes a cloth back strip on the spine. Intact pages exhibit age tanning, moisture damage.

27 1/2" tall, 13" long, 12" wide. In his lifetime polymath Frederic Remington was the most successful and famous Western American artist. His immense talents included excelling as an illustrator, author, sculptor, and fine artist. His was a life tragically cut short. Born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, a small berg in bucolic upper state New York, he was much influenced by his father Seth Pierpont Remington, a Republican journalist who founded the St. Lawrence Plaindealer. His father had been a captain in the Civil War, and in 1870 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him United States Collector of the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. In 1876 young Frederic enrolled at Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts where he studied for the next two years. Two years later he enrolled at Yale for one year to study in the School of Fine Arts. His two loves were art and football. Only three months into school, he published his first illustration in the on-campus newspaper Yale Courant. On the gridiron he was a natural, demonstrating great strength and agility. Like Theodore Roosevelt, Remington also enjoyed boxing. A year later he met his future wife Eva Caten from Gloversville, New York. After the death of Remingtons father from tuberculosis on February 18, 1879, Eva rejected his first marriage proposal. Floundering, Remington headed to the American West to find himselfmuch like Theodore Roosevelt did when his mother and wife died on the same day. That led to a trip to Montana where he completed a number of sketches. Invigorated by his Western experiences, in February 1883 he headed to Kansas and with part of his inheritance bought a 160 acre sheep ranch near Peabody, Kansas. That failed adventure lasted about a year, and he then relocated to Kansas City, Missouri where Eva would join him as his wife. Yet he squandered the rest of his inheritance on a saloon there. After more illustrations were sold to Harpers Weekly, in 1885 the Remingtons moved to New York City, and in 1886 he attended the Art Students League. By then Remington was earning $1,200 a year, twice the income of a school teacher. Other magazines such as St. Nicholas and Outing also published his art. His work certainly impressed a young Theodore Roosevelt who was chronicling his life in Medoranow in North Dakotafor a serial that ran in The Century Magazine. It was very common at the time for authors to serialize their works in magazines before they were published in book form. In the fall of 1887 Remington was commissioned to illustrate the magazine stories which ended up in Roosevelts 1888 classic book Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail. Early on, a lasting friendship between the two was cemented through these publications. By 1889 he had garnered national notoriety as one of the most accomplished illustrators in the country. He was a national celebrity. In 1889 his monumental canvas A Dash for the Timber was exhibited at the National Academy of Design. The New York Times reported, "The picture at the Autumn exhibition of the Academy of Design before which stands the largest number of people is Frederic Remingtons Dash for the Timber." A Silver medal for Last Lull in the Fight followed at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1891 the National Academy of Design elected Remington as an Associate member. Yet he was never admitted as National Academician, despite support from fellow artists Gilbert Gaul, Childe Hassam, and others. His financial success allowed the Remingtons to move into a grand home he named Ednion Algonquin for "a place where I live in New Rochelle, New York. A young Norman Rockwell would someday paint in his studio. Through his travels, Remington embraced social Darwinism survival of the fittest that championed the U.S. militarys domination of the inferior Native Americans. Theodore Roosevelt, George Armstrong Custer, and Remington along with most other Americansidolized Charles Darwin. As early as 1888 Remington started contributing short stories along with illustrations to magazines. His writings teemed with romantic Western stories chalk full of drama and violence. Initially, they presented the cavalryman as the hero and the Indian as the villain, especially when the Indian had been tainted with the vices of the white man. His West was the "frontier model where the fittest were rugged individuals from northern Europe and white Americans. Even though he was an accomplished author and painter, perhaps his greatest talent was as a sculptor. His bronzes are more famous and collectible than any other Western American artist. And yet his bronze repertoire was completed in just fourteen years. Starting in order of modeling, they are: The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, The Scalp, The Norther, The Cheyenne, The Buffalo Signal, Coming Through the Rye, The Mountain Man, The Sergeant, Paleolithic Man, Savage, Polo, The Rattlesnake, Dragoons 1850, The Outlaw, The Horse Thief, The Buffalo Horse, The Cowboy, Trooper of the Plains 1868, The Broncho Buster (large), and The Stampede. His Coming Through the Rye was widely viewed by the public at two worlds fairs. A New Jersey artisan in 1904 was commissioned by Remington to produce a heroic size plaster of the sculpture for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri (called Off the Trail). It was then shipped to Portland, Oregon the next year for the Lewis and Clark Exposition and titled Shooting Up the Town. The Cowboyhis only monumental bronzewas commissioned in 1905 by the Fairmount Park Art Association in Philadelphia. The twelve feet high bronze was shipped to Philadelphia in May 1908 and unveiled in the park as The Mounted Cowboy. In 1900 Remington turned to Riccardo Bertelli at Roman Bronze Works in Brooklyn to cast his bronzes by the lost-wax casting process which allowed higher detail in the finished product. The Norther that year was his first bronze by this method. The Cheyenne was copyrighted the next year. His last, The Stampede, was modeled in late 1909 just before Remington died but wasnt copyrighted until 1910. His friend and accomplished sculptor Sally Farnham was called upon by Eva to oversee the production after her husbands death. The Broncho Buster reins as Remingtons most popular model. Many consider his last few years as his greatest period. Peter Hassrick divided Remingtons art into five periods: illustration; academic Realism; nocturnal paintings; Impressionism; and finally Symbolism. Remingtons paintings provided the financial means to build Lorul Place, his last home and studio, on forty-six acres in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Construction was completed in the spring of 1909. By the time of his death, he had produced over 3,000 illustrations for periodicals. The Frederic Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, New York, as it has been known since 1981, houses material from Evas estate that includes paintings, sketches, two bronzes and his library. The building was home to Eva and her sister after Remington died in 1909, and after she died it became known as the Remington Art Memorial in 1923.

Watercolor study for his work Solitude. Pen and Ink with Watercolor on Paper. 4 1/2" by 6 3/8". PROVENANCE: Martin Lane Historic & Western Americana Lifetime Collection. Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861 - 1909) was active/lived in New York, Kansas, Connecticut. Frederic Remington is known for Western painting and sculpture, illustration. In his lifetime polymath Frederic Remington was the most successful and famous Western American artist. His immense talents included excelling as an illustrator, author, sculptor, and fine artist. His was a life tragically cut short. Born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, a small berg in bucolic upper state New York, he was much influenced by his father Seth Pierpont Remington, a Republican journalist who founded the St. Lawrence Plaindealer. His father had been a captain in the Civil War, and in 1870 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him United States Collector of the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. In 1876 young Frederic enrolled at Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts where he studied for the next two years. Two years later he enrolled at Yale for one year to study in the School of Fine Arts. His two loves were art and football. Only three months into school, he published his first illustration in the on-campus newspaper Yale Courant. On the gridiron he was a natural, demonstrating great strength and agility. Like Theodore Roosevelt, Remington also enjoyed boxing. A year later he met his future wife Eva Caten from Gloversville, New York. After the death of Remingtons father from tuberculosis on February 18, 1879, Eva rejected his first marriage proposal. Floundering, Remington headed to the American West to find himselfmuch like Theodore Roosevelt did when his mother and wife died on the same day. That led to a trip to Montana where he completed a number of sketches. Invigorated by his Western experiences, in February 1883 he headed to Kansas and with part of his inheritance bought a 160 acre sheep ranch near Peabody, Kansas. That failed adventure lasted about a year, and he then relocated to Kansas City, Missouri where Eva would join him as his wife. Yet he squandered the rest of his inheritance on a saloon there. After more illustrations were sold to Harpers Weekly, in 1885 the Remingtons moved to New York City, and in 1886 he attended the Art Students League. By then Remington was earning $1,200 a year, twice the income of a school teacher. Other magazines such as St. Nicholas and Outing also published his art. His work certainly impressed a young Theodore Roosevelt who was chronicling his life in Medoranow in North Dakotafor a serial that ran in The Century Magazine. It was very common at the time for authors to serialize their works in magazines before they were published in book form. In the fall of 1887 Remington was commissioned to illustrate the magazine stories which ended up in Roosevelts 1888 classic book Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail. Early on, a lasting friendship between the two was cemented through these publications. By 1889 he had garnered national notoriety as one of the most accomplished illustrators in the country. He was a national celebrity. In 1889 his monumental canvas A Dash for the Timber was exhibited at the National Academy of Design. The New York Times reported, "The picture at the Autumn exhibition of the Academy of Design before which stands the largest number of people is Frederic Remingtons Dash for the Timber." A Silver medal for Last Lull in the Fight followed at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1891 the National Academy of Design elected Remington as an Associate member. Yet he was never admitted as National Academician, despite support from fellow artists Gilbert Gaul, Childe Hassam, and others. His financial success allowed the Remingtons to move into a grand home he named Ednion Algonquin for "a place where I live in New Rochelle, New York. A young Norman Rockwell would someday paint in his studio. Through his travels, Remington embraced social Darwinism survival of the fittest that championed the U.S. militarys domination of the inferior Native Americans. Theodore Roosevelt, George Armstrong Custer, and Remington along with most other Americansidolized Charles Darwin. As early as 1888 Remington started contributing short stories along with illustrations to magazines. His writings teemed with romantic Western stories chalk full of drama and violence. Initially, they presented the cavalryman as the hero and the Indian as the villain, especially when the Indian had been tainted with the vices of the white man. His West was the "frontier model where the fittest were rugged individuals from northern Europe and white Americans. Even though he was an accomplished author and painter, perhaps his greatest talent was as a sculptor. His bronzes are more famous and collectible than any other Western American artist. And yet his bronze repertoire was completed in just fourteen years. Starting in order of modeling, they are: The Broncho Buster, The Wounded Bunkie, The Wicked Pony, The Scalp, The Norther, The Cheyenne, The Buffalo Signal, Coming Through the Rye, The Mountain Man, The Sergeant, Paleolithic Man, Savage, Polo, The Rattlesnake, Dragoons 1850, The Outlaw, The Horse Thief, The Buffalo Horse, The Cowboy, Trooper of the Plains 1868, The Broncho Buster (large), and The Stampede.

Remingtons career-long interest in the American West began to take direction when in summer 1881 he traveled to the Montana Territory. Two years later, he bought a quarter share in a sheep ranch in Kansas, yet his involvement in farming and commercial pursuits in Kansas and Missouri met with little financial success. Following his marriage to Eva Caten in October 1884, he established a studio in Kansas City, Missouri. Remingtons first published sketchof a Wyoming cowboyappeared in the February 25, 1882, issue of Harpers Weekly. In 1885, following travels throughout the Southwest, he returned to New York, settling in Brooklyn, and rose to prominence with black-and-white illustrations that proclaimed his artistic ability and his talent as a raconteur of frontier life. Between 1885 and 1913, Remingtons drawings were published in forty-one periodicals, including Century Magazine, Colliers, and above all, Harpers Weekly, the eminent pictorial magazine. He also illustrated books by such notable authors as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Owen Wister), Francis Parkman, and Theodore Roosevelt, with whom he shared a lasting friendship. Remington also wrote and illustrated his own books and articles based on his experiences in the West. He served as a war correspondent for the New York Journal in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Much of Remingtons early writing was reportorial; he later produced short stories, eight anthologies of previously published magazine articles, and two novels. 6GS
