Remington: The Years of Critical Acclaim

Gerald Peters Gallery; Frederic Remington; Kellie Keto

Synopsis:
Although Frederic Remington had long attained popular recognition and financial success as a commercial artist, it was only late in his career that he transcended the rank of illustrator and began to achieve serious consideration in the world of fine arts. His early Darwinian dramas, set in clear, dry western light, evolved towards a more introspective style typified by atmospheric settings and impressionistic brushwork on canvas, and expressive surface treatments in bronze. The focus of this book is on Remington's nocturnes and bronzes, a body of work that presents a clear view of the artist's mature vision. An essay by Melissa Webster, co-author of Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonne, provides discerning insights into Remington's late production, including the details of his influences and working methods. Enhancing the text are 70 reproductions of some of Remington's most significant paintings and sculptures from private and public collections throughout the country.
