HOW THE WEST WAS DRAWN
Cowboy Charlie’s Art interactively delves into the life and art of the famous self-taught artist, Charles
Russell. He lived what he painted. He sculpted animals, people, events and more. When researchers want to
know what the old west really looked like, they study the art of Charles Russell.
Frederic Remington’s Art interactively examines his art for illustrations and his amazing sculptures.
Although researchers sometimes reference Remington’s illustrations, this New Yorker didn’t live the
western life. Instead he traveled to the West on assignment, for magazine illustrations, from Canada to
Mexico and even into Cuba.
Women’s Art documents the expertise, awards and recognition of many unknown women who painted the
West. Few realize women other than Georgia O’Keeffe even contributed to western art.
Seeing the West through Artists’ Eyes looks at art through the eyes of known and unknown western
artists including Charles Russell, Frederic Remington and many women.
