Frederic Sackrider Remington 1861 - 1909 Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West, specifically concentrating on the last quarter of the 19th century American West and images of Cowboys, American Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry. His imagery has been used as reference material for many a movie about the old American west down to the present day. In the final years of his life, Remington, who had always made pictures that conformed to his personal vision of the West, broke away from the literal and gave his imagination free rein. He particularly loved night scenes where darkness concealed the mundane, while moonlight and shadow created instant drama. I really enjoyed copying his painting of a Bronco Buster! But check out his nocturnes…they contain lessons in composition, values, notans and much else about picture making.
