Frederic Remington (1861-1909) was one of the last American artists to offer his contemporaries a vision of the American Old West, that wild terrain with its immense prairies, herds of bison, and the last American Indians. A painter, but above all a popular illustrator of his time, Remington skilfully captivated the public's attention by presenting a realistic view of this visceral way of life on the brink of submitting to invading civilisation.
Authentically capturing its roughness, force, and also its colours, Remington quickly became the representative of American painting in the eyes of the world. Aiming his focus at the attitudes of his characters and animals, Remington’s photographic style lent an added realism to his subjects.
A sculptor as well as a painter, Remington also knew how to sculpturally express the ardour of these strong men and wild animals battling with the evolution of a new continent. The bucking bronco, still recognised today as his signature subject, magnificently illustrates the power of freedom emanating from these masterpieces.
