Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 171 Pages Fully Indexed. Light blue boards. No defects noted and the Jacket price $39.95 is not clipped. Includes 180 illustrations, including 83 plates in full color. The ultimate coffee table book. A Dash for the Timber, The Stampede, Last Lull in the… Fight, are the very titles of Frederic Remington's paintings and sculptures that convey the excitement of the American West. Between 1889 and 1909, the last years of the wild riding cowboy and the trooper of the plains, this extraordinarily talented American artist produced images of life in the West that still fire our imagination. But in such works as The Bronco Buster and Episode of a Buffalo Hunt Remington went beyond the descriptive realism that his titles suggest to convey a sense of relentless conflict between human and natural forces. David McCullough sketches a striking portrait of Remington, a man of powerful and complex personality. Doreen Burke, Curator in the American Wing of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, places him in the context of his artistic generation at home and abroad. Peter Hassrick, author of the standard monograph on Remington and Director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, traces the artist's development from a magazine illustrator to a brilliant and versatile painter. Michael Shapiro, Chief Curator at The Saint Louis Art Museum, shows that Remington's dazzlingly cantilevered bronzes were at the forefront of developments in sculpture in Europe and America. Made expressly for this book, the superb color plates that accompany Shapiro's essay open new avenues of interpretation and visual experience for admirers of Remington's work. Enhancing the text are more than 100 reproductions in color and in high quality black and white of Remington's paintings' drawings, photographs, and sculptures. There are fascinating views of the artist painting and adventuring in the West or working in his studio filled with props and memorabilia. 83 Color & 97 B/w Illustrations (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 1st. 192 pages, chiefly colour illustrations; 31 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light edgewear to wraps. Stated First Edition. Another copy available. *** "Nancy Graves is one of the truly remarkable art talents of the current generation. A protean creator, she has produced work of startlin…g originality and beauty as a painter, graphic artist, filmmaker, and sculptor. From Graves's first three-dimensional work -- her camels -- to her most recent works in bronze, her sculpture has been innovative and influential not only for its aesthetic impact but also because it has stretched the boundaries of sculptural media. Graves's bronzes are composed to a variety of elements, many of which are cast from such natural, organic, and/or everyday objects as pretzels, sardines, leaves, and cooking scissors. These works are then colored through a combination of techniques -- polyurethane paint, fired enamel, and patination -- to an extent that is unmatched in the work of any other modernist sculptor. The Sculpture of Nancy Graves is both a monograph and a catalogue raisonn of all her sculpture to date (with virtually every work reproduced in color!). It includes fascinating essays by E.A. Carmean, Jr., director of the Fort Worth Art Museum; Robert Hughes, art critic of Time magazine; Michael Edward Shapiro, curator of 19th- and 20th-century art at the Saint Louis Art Museum; and Linda L. Cathcart, director of the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston. The Sculpture of Nancy Graves is published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition of Graves's sculpture organized by the Fort Worth Art Museum; it will open at the Hirshhorn Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and subsequently travel to Fort Worth, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: A note on Nancy Graves's Titles, by E.
