With stunning full-color plates, additional black-and-white illustrations, and concise, authoritative text, these unique, beautifully produced studies present the life, work and achievements of two of America's premier Old West artists. Charles Marion Russell (1864 – 1926) also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an artist of the Old American West. Russell created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. Known as 'the cowboy artist', Russell was also a storyteller and author. Remington is arguably one of the most influential Western artists who ever lived.
