The Gilcrease Museum was founded in 1949 as a private museum by Tulsa oilman Thomas Gilcrease (1890-1962), who amassed the nation's most comprehensive collection of art of the American West, as well as major collections of historical documents and artifacts. American art historian Richard Saunders once called Gilcrease Museum a kind of Smithsonian Institution of the American West. Although a powerful tribute, Saunders's comment only hints at the museum's ongoing impact and influence. There are fifteen black and white glossy photographs of Remington and Russell's works.
