Author: Brian W. Dippie
Since its original publication in 1982, Remington and Russell have become an essential introduction to the work of these artists, and this revision substantially enhances the book's strengths. Every painting in The Sid Richardson Collection has been rephotographed for this edition, including one Russell and five Remington paintings not included previously. Numerous black-and-white illustrations have also been added to give insight into the evolution of the paintings. Brian Dippie has considerably amplified his commentaries on each painting with new information. His revised introduction places Remington and Russell in the historical and cultural contexts of their time and draws intriguing comparisons between the two artists. A work of art in itself, Remington and Russell will delight admirers and collectors of Western art, as well as students of Western history and society.
