Self Portrait of Frederic Sackville Remington
|
Frederic Remington (1861-1909): Born in Canton, N.Y. in 1861. This easterner studied at the Yale School of Fine Arts for a couple of years but was more into football and life on campus.
After the death of his father Remington went west. "Go west young man, and grow up with the country." Horace Greeley later used the quote in his own editorial in 1865, and Remington went looking for his place in life. My impression is that art work was not a big priority as Remington worked as a sheep-herder, cow-puncher, storekeeper, cook and stock-man, and sketched in his free time.
Returning to New York, married at 24, with a renewed interest in making money for the art world. to placate the in-laws? Frederic began an illustrious career as artist and illustrator that took him to global reaches, as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War. Remington eventually succeeded in everything from sketches, watercolor and oils, writing & illustrating articles, collaborating as illustrator on many books of the period, then writing and illustrating his own novellas and novels, even a hand at a play. Last but not least he mastered bronze statues, some even larger than life.
Remington died suddenly in Ridgefield, Conn. in 1909, of complications arising from appendicitis. His opulent lifestyle had left him at well over 300 pounds, a long way from the person atop the charging horse in the self portrait about and not an ideal candidate for emergency surgery.

S. Cavalry
Remington was not a typical Yale student, who seemed to major in good times. With a $9,000 inheritance from the death of his father, the Old West called his name, wrangling, cow punching and sketches in any spare time were his past times on the ranch
The sketches grew not only in numbers, after a marriage, that provided an impetus to find a job, but in quality and realism. Remington’s work was the motivator behind a successful advertising campaign, the Malboro Man
‘Cowboys of Remington’s West’ is a collection of his works that became synonymous with cowboys, the face of the old west. Enjoy this genre, watercolors, pastels, oil and branched into a mastery of bronze statue from table top to bigger than life monuments.

Remington seems to have taken the high road in his depiction of the native peoples of America’s West. Indians are a popular subject in sketches and painting. These indigenous people are depicted in natural poses, at one with nature. The sensational Indian attacks that were magnified on the movies of the day did not make their way into Remington version of the old west.
“Indigenous People Old West” Is taken from sample of Remington’s works in the Public Domain. The savage red skin is lacking from Remington portrayal in not only paintings but many of the short stories penned over the writer’s life. The words do paint a caring, honest, nature nurturers. The story of ‘John Ermine’ even attempts to take a honest look at the racial divide of mixed breeds in a very mode
