Recording History: Frederic Remington

Through many paintings and sculptures, artist Frederic Remington recorded the events of what is known as the Old West. He portrayed the differences and rituals between The Native Americans and cowboys, or Native American hunting parties,cowboys surrounding a fire, etc. It documents the condition of the west, the tension between two cultures butting heads, and offers a look into both side of the conflict. Most of the time they were highly detailed and dramatic.
