Review


Winner of the Western Heritage Awards Best Art Book
"The best book about [Remington] currently in print."--Library Journal

"An unusually candid glimpse of an artist and his work."--American Artist

"This handsome volume . . . is a carefully researched introduction to the development of night paintings and their role as a bridge to modern art. The perceptive essays in this beautifully illustrated work demonstrate how energetically imaginative, experimental, and modern Remington became when he sought to portray the color of night."--Choice

"This volume has by far the highest production values of any publication on Frederic Remington, and offers fresh insights from novel approaches to art history, biography and cultural studies. . . . Remington's work is rich enough to allow every generation to see him anew. Frederic Remington: The Color of Night helps us to do just that."--Christopher Capozzola, The Art Book

From the Back Cover


"This new and imaginative look at Remington's night pictures secures the artist's place in the history of American art, rather than exclusively in the history of western American art, and promises to attract a large audience from aficionados of the West to those interested in a cultural history of early-twentieth-century America. Remington's works are well known by most museum goers and beloved by a segment of an even wider public. Clearly written throughout, this book will put him literally in a new light for these and new audiences. By connecting Remington's pictorially and psychologically darkest pictures to Whistler's nocturnes; to Crane, Conrad, and Hemingway; and to the new technologies of electric light and flash photography, Anderson, Nemerov, and Sharpe bring Remington into the twentieth century and give him the place he deserves in a modern world."--Carol Clark, Amherst College
