Description
Book SynopsisFor most people, the work of Frederic Remington conjures an antiquarian world of all things western. Why this is so, and whether it
should be so, are two of the critical questions raised in this book. Stephen Tatum closely considers selected paintings from Remington's last four years of life, his so-called years of critical acclaim.
Trade Review"Can the work of an artist like Remington
—nostalgic even in his time
—be considered as more than a relic in ours? Might it still have an affecting presence a century after Remington's passing? Tatum's book is a palpable affirmation."
