Themes of the American West have been enduringly popular, and The American West in Bronze features sixtyfive iconic bronzes that display a range of subjects, from portrayals of the noble Indian to roughandtumble scenes of rowdy cowboys to tributes to the pioneers who settled the lands west of the Mississippi. Fascinating texts offer a fresh look at the roles that artists played in creating interpretations of the vanishing Westwhether based on fact, fiction, or something inbetween. These artists, including Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington, embody a range of life experiences and artistic approaches. Some grew up in the West and based their artwork on firsthand experience, while others never set foot west of the Rockies. Four thematic sectionsIndians, animals, cowboys, and settlersare illustrated with new photography and provide a cultural overview to the works presented. Also included are biographies of the artists, each illustrated with a vintage portrait, plus an illustrated chronology of historical and artistic events.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art(12/17/1304/13/14)Denver Art Museum(05/09/1408/31/14)Nanjing Museum(October 2014January 2015)
