Описание: One of America's most popular and influential American artists, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) is renowned for his depictions of the Old West. Through paintings, drawings, and sculptures, he immortalized a dynamic world of cowboys and American Indians, hunters and horses, landscapes and wildlife. Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonn? II is a comprehensive presentation of the artist's body of flat work, both in print and on this book's companion website. Beautifully illustrated with more than 150 figures and 100 color plates, this book offers insightful essays by notable art historians who explore Remington's experiences in Taos, New Mexico, and other parts of the West. The chapters include analyses of Remington's artistic development from an illustrator to a fine art painter, his search for and understanding of ""men with the bark on,"" his relationship with the famed illustrator Howard Pyle, and the shared imagery of Remington and ""Buffalo Bill"" Cody. A chapter considering Remington's enduring bond with the horse and its representation in his paintings follows an examination of Remington's ties to Theodore Roosevelt that reveals how the two men helped move the American conscience toward wildlife preservation. An assessment of the authentication process for evaluating Remington's works opens the collection: Remington is perhaps the most frequently faked American artist. The book features a unique keycode granting access to a companion website that brings together more than 3,000 reproductions of the artist's flat works, including the complete original 1996 edition of the Catalogue Raisonn? and nearly 300 previously unknown or relocated pieces.

Lillis Remington and George Thomas Brooks in Mid-Century Utah is a book which chronicles two people who were eyewitnesses and participants in many of the transformations of the twentieth century.
It begins with Lillis's childhood in a remote and primitive mining camp in Uintah County in the 1920s. It follows her to Albuquerque, where she may have unwittingly witnessed the Trinity Nuclear test. She worked as a nurse who treated soldiers after the war returning from prison camps with tuberculosis. She went on to work in a company hospital on a sugar plantation in Hawaii, where she witnessed the Sugar Strike of 1946 and the cynical importation of labor from the Philippines. After George and Lillis married, Lillis volunteered her child for the polio vaccine trials as she operated the iron lungs at St. Benedict's Hospital in Ogden.
The book also describes George's childhood in Sugar House on the periphery of Salt Lake City, and the bitter-cold winter battlefields in Germany in 1945. George taught elementary students at the well-intentioned Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, and rose to serve as the Superintendent of Schools in Salt Lake City. He and Lillis were active in local politics, their church, and with social issues such as the refugees fleeing war in Southeast Asia.
While serving as missionaries in Zimbabwe, George was killed in a traffic accident, which forced Lillis to come to terms with his early death and her own life-altering injuries.
There are many foils and backdrops to their story: the eccentricities of Mormon culture, the advance of medicine, the slow acknowledgement of racial injustice in the US, the construction of the Interstate Highway System, and the many people who crossed their paths.
Their stories have been pieced together from letters, journals, newspapers, and interviews. They are presented here dispassionately with very little interpretation so that those who knew Lillis and George will recognize them in these pages.
