Autorenporträt
Frederic Remington (1861–1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the American Old West. A preeminent figure of the American West theme, Remington captured the closing frontier through his works. His portrayal of cowboys, Native Americans, cavalry, and landscapes are notable for their realistic impressions and dramatic intensity. Born in Canton, New York, Remington briefly attended the Yale School of Art before venturing west to find inspiration for his creative pursuits. His talents flourished in various mediums, but he also ventured into writing, encapsulating the Western ethos in works such as 'The Way of an Indian,' a gripping tale that offers readers a vivid window into Native American life and culture during a time of significant transition and conflict. Remington's literary efforts, while not as globally renowned as his visual artistry, further contribute to his legacy as a chronicler of a bygone era. His written and visual works are symbiotic, each enriching the other and offering a comprehensive portrayal of the rugged narratives that have come to define the legend of the American frontier. His stylized figures and dramatic use of light and shadow in both prose and picture have made him an enduring figure in American art and literature. Remington's influence is perpetuated through collections in prominent museums and the continued analysis of scholars interested in the mythos of the Wild West.
