Produktbeschreibung
Although Frederic Remington lived in upstate New York, the West fascinated him. His desire to capture the spirit of this rugged region led him to drop out of Yale's art program because it focused on the old masters. Remington illustrated for magazines that sent him on assignments from Canada to Mexico and even Cuba. He filled his studio with props he brought back to help him re-create a dying frontier on canvas and in bronze. In his short life, he produced more than three thousand paintings and sketches and twenty-two bronze sculptures. In this one-on-one tour of thirteen Remington art works, prompts draw the reader's attention to details that casual viewers miss. These questions lead to further discussion. Readers gain a better understanding of the artist's process, cowboy life in the 1800s, and the techniques of looking at art. In the introduction, teachers learn how to incorporate Remington's art into their curriculum. Linda L. Osmundson has written more than 120 articles for regional and national publications. A former presenter at the National Docent Symposium, she is the author of How the West Was Drawn: Cowboy Charlie's Art. As a docent trainer, she taught art in the classroom workshops for volunteers. She has served as a docent in four major art museums and two galleries. Osmundson lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. >
